Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update: We have administered 106K doses of vaccine incl to 16.2K+ ABs who have now been fully immunized w/2 doses. Over the last 24 hrs, we ID’d 355 new cases & completed about 7.3K tests. Our positivity rate stands at about 4.9%. (1/6)
There are currently active alerts/outbreaks in 298, or about 12% of schools in the province w/ 701 total cases. In-school transmission has been detected in 66 schools and, of these, only 51 have seen one new case occur as a result. (2/6)
The avg new cases/day in school-age ABs continues to fall. Last week, avg new cases/day in this age group was 71 compared w/ 131 cases daily avg the week before school started in person. So far, returning to school in person has not caused more spread in this age group. (3/6)
Hospitalizations are also declining w/ 556 ppl in hosp., incl 102 in ICU. This is a testament to the ongoing hard work of so many. Sadly, I must announce that 10 new deaths were reported in the last 24 hours. My sympathies go out to all who have lost loved ones recently. (4/6)
While cases & hospitalizations are trending down, we still have work to do. We should be able to further ease measures on Feb 8, but we have seen cases fall & rise before. (5/6)
We all must remain vigilant to keep schools, continuing care & other settings safe & to keep hospitalizations trending downward. (6/6)
