#COVID19Ontario:
Daily new cases vs. test % positivity in #Ontario
Line = 7 day moving average. #COVIDー19 #onhealth

Vaccinations remain very effective against severe illness (including hospitalization, ICU, & death)

(1st wave not shown as cases were significantly under-reported due to limited testing criteria)
