Many have pointed out importance of distinguishing between patients in hospital/ICU for #COVID19 vs. those admitted for other reasons but test +. We've asked hospitals to update daily reporting to include this important info. We expect to begin receiving it in the coming days.

Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore, today said proof of vaccination will no longer be needed by March 1 because of high vaccination rates. More than two years into this pandemic, it's time to unite rather than politicize public health recommendations.

We want to wait at least two weeks after the 60% threshold is met so the vaccines provide their fullest protection. And while vaccine coverage is the main metric, it's not the only. We're also waiting to further reduce the burden of this virus on our hospitals and communities.

Aren’t we vaccinating ~ 1% per day? Even if you assume the pace slows down over the long weekend, I’m unclear how we don’t pass 60% by early next week at the latest. I’m unclear how that + 2 weeks = June 14th? I’m obviously missing something?

Ontario's rate of active cases per 100,000 has fallen to 21, as we continue to trend at or below modellers' best-case scenario. Hospitalizations and ICU admissions remain stable as we accept out-of-province patients. In short: Ontario's cautious plan is working.
