'Well, that's come back to bite them.'
TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford has slammed the United States for their "reckless" approach to reopening as new cases in the country reach record highs., the United States recorded 40,588 new COVID-19 infections on Friday, bringing the country’s total to over 2.4 million. "If we continue moving forward in, we won't see the same events that are happening down south of the border in the U.S right now," Ford told reporters at Queen’s Park on Friday.
"What I'm saying is that that's the comparison, being cautious and everyone following the protocol …versus the reckless approach, in my opinion, south of the border, that goes hog-wild and don't worry about anything."The sharp uptick in cases in the United States prompted Ford to reiterate on Thursday his support for keeping the Canada-U.S. border closed past July 21.
It's the third time the border agreement has been extended after first being imposed in March to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
