An Ontario health unit said Monday it would reinstate capacity limits and other public health rules amid a surge of COVID-19 cases, while another mulled a similar move.

Algoma Public Health said cases are rising, particularly in the northern city of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and measures are needed to prevent more infections and protect the health system.

Loo also issued an order requiring people with confirmed or suspected COVID-19, or identified close contacts of an infected person, to isolate or be fined up to $5,000 per day. Sault Area Hospital CEO Ila Watson said the surge in hospital admissions that's anticipated to continue “may lead to the cancellation of elective surgeries and procedures.”

Dr. Penny Sutcliffe also said Monday that the province and neighbouring health units were providing assistance with contact tracing. “Our curve is definitely on the upswing,” Dr. Joyce Lock said in an interview. “We continue to see cases in our region which are at a higher rate that has been has been reported for the rest of Ontario.”

the fear mongering never ends

We need to lock down the unvaccinated and the rest of us can go on with life. Austria is getting it right.

It’s all BS to scare people into getting the vaccine. The narrative hasn’t changed. I’m from the soo and people I talk to back home are even saying the numbers don’t add up. They are blaming the last hockey game for the “spike” in cases.

Enough

What happened to the pandemic of the unvaccinated narrative?

Stupid. Keep moving that goal post 🙄
