Victoria Day long weekend may be to blame
Our top doctor cautioning it may be too early to consider reopening the economy just yet.
This comes as the Premier and Health Minister both hinted this week we may enter Step One of the province's reopening plan before it's scheduled June 14th start date.
Dr. David Williams told reporters yesterday he is concerned COVID cases are rising again and he believes it may be due to the Victoria Day long weekend.
Dr. Williams says he will be able to better advise the Ford government next week after the weekend numbers are in, whether we can enter Step One before the 14th.
Yesterday Ontario reported 870 new cases of COVID and Williams predicts that may climb to over 900 today.
In Niagara we had 29 new cases down from the day before.
Public Health also reporting we reached another vaccine milestone in Niagara, with 300,000 doses of the vaccine being administered
