The scientific director of the panel advising Ontario on COVID-19 says cases in the province might rise a bit after the holiday weekend, but it won't fundamentally change the trajectory of the sixth wave.
Dr. Peter Juni said wastewater data shows a possible peak, the number of health-care workers testing positive for COVID-19 has plateaued, and test positivity has also plateaued.
“There may be a bit of a bump,” Juni said. “But no, it would not change the fundamentally the trajectory of this wave.” With PCR testing eligibility restricted, Juni says multiplying the daily case count right now by 20 would give an accurate picture.
