Caveat about today's count of new #COVID19 cases in Ontario, from the Ministry of Health: today's count covers a 27-hour period for most public health units, as the timing of the daily database extraction has shifted. #COVID19Ontario
BREAKING: 2,275 new cases of #COVID19 reported in Ontario today, including:
711 in Toronto
586 in Peel
185 in Windsor
154 in York
This pushes the 7-day average of daily new cases to 1,927.
Data: data.ontario.ca/dataset/status… #COVID19Ontario Image
Here's Health Minister Christine Elliott's caveat about today's record-high #COVID19 case count for Ontario
Important caveat to the caveat: Toronto's 711 new cases is NOT a result of counting over a longer-than-24-hour-period.
If you want to get into the weeds on this, see these footnotes from @PublicHealthON epidemiological reports from yesterday & today.

@PublicHealthON Correction to my first tweet in this thread - today's numbers cover a 26.5 hour period for most public health units (other than Toronto) not 27.

BREAKING: Ontario tells hospitals to be ready within 48 hours to clear beds for a surge of #COVID19 patients, @CBCNews has learned. #covid19ontario
cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
I obtained a 4-page memo that went to all hospital CEOs today from the head of @OntarioHealthOH. telling them to prepare to activate surge capacity plans immediately. For hospitals in the lockdown & control zones, that means clearing up to 15% of beds for #COVID19 patients. Image
This comes on the day that the number of #COVID19 patients in Ontario hospitals surpassed 900 for the first time since May. #COVID19Ontario cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

THREAD: Initial reaction to Ontario's new #COVID19 framework from doctors ...
you could summarize it as "uh-oh" Image
"Thresholds may be too loose & allow for reopening with +++ community spread." says @BogochIsaac #covidontario
"This is not the right time to reduce public health measures in hard-hit regions: We can neither test adequately nor do contact tracing" says @ASPphysician #covid19ontario

BREAKING: Ontario is launching a new colour-coded system for #COVID19 restrictions: green, yellow, orange, red ... and lockdown. cbc.ca/news/canada/to… #COVIDOntario ImageImageImageImage
When the system takes effect, most public health units are set to be in green or yellow, facing largely the same prevention measures as they've been under since June. #covidontario Image
Toronto, Peel, York, Ottawa & the Eastern Ontario Health Unit would be in orange, with LESS stringent restrictions than currently in place for "modified stage 2". Indoor drinking & dining permitted in bars & restaurants, but last call is moved up to 9pm, max 4 per table. #COVID19 Image

THREAD: How Ontario all but ceased conducting comprehensive inspections of long-term care homes. @CBCNews revealed today that only 9 of 626 homes received a full "resident quality inspection" (RQI) last year. #COVID19 cbc.ca/news/canada/se…
In June 2013, the government committed to annual comprehensive inspections of all long-term care homes in the province. These typically took 3-4 inspectors about 8 days, including interviews with staff & residents and a focus on infection prevention.
news.ontario.ca/mohltc/en/2013…
The auditor general questioned the efficiency of these comprehensive annual inspections in her 2015 annual report, calling for a "cost-benefit analysis to determine the
frequency in which comprehensive inspections should take place in the future." auditor.on.ca/en/reports_en/…
