No clear answer on when Ontario will end lockdown, new COVID cases coming down

Officials say Ontario is making progress with controlling the spread of COVID-19. 

Despite today’s concerning uptick in cases, the amount of tests returning positive across all ages has gone down since January 12th, but so did the testing numbers.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams says it’s hard to say when businesses can safely reopen without causing any further spike in cases.

Dr. Williams says mortality in long-term care homes continues to increase with 215 resident deaths reported over the past week.
