The # of COVID cases is basically irrelevant; it reflects the # of tests, not the prevalence of COVID. The #s that matter are hospitalizations, ICU capacity & deaths, which remain ~flat (remember the whole flatten the curve thing? We did that.) Source: covid-19.ontario.ca/data 
I was sick in March & had just returned from a COVID hotspot (Santa Clara country). I couldn't get tested in Toronto for weeks because, at the time, they were only testing people returning from China. Even in April, they were conducting 9,000 tests/day vs. 48,500 tests/day now.
Comparing numbers from March/April to today, as most of the mainstream media is doing, is completely dishonest. We are testing 5x as many people as before. Journalists trotting out case numbers or this chart, without providing context in terms of testing, should be ignored.
And politicians who impose lockdowns based on these trends should be fired. Shutting down the economy again is reckless & very bad public policy. More people will die from 2nd & 3rd order effects of a lockdown than from COVID. Again, look at the data: covid-19.ontario.ca/data
