Ontario’s science advisory table is set to release new modelling today, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in much of the province.
The province’s chief medical officer of health is also scheduled to provide an update at 1:30 p.m. ET on the COVID-19 situation, in addition to his regular Thursday briefing. You will be able to watch it live in this story.
Dr. Kieran Moore will likely face questions about the omicron variant, with at least 13 cases detected so far in the province and the London area health unit investigating a potential cluster of 30 cases.
Ontario’s seven-day average of daily new cases is up to 940, a level not seen since the decline of the third wave in early June. The latest data is set to come out shortly after 10 a.m.
Officials have said a rise in cases this fall and winter was expected, as the weather gets colder and more activities move indoors.
The science advisory table’s last modelling, released Nov. 12, didn’t make daily case count projections, saying the immediate future was uncertain, though a rise in ICU occupancy since then has been in line with their predictions.
