Ontario to release new COVID-19 modelling on Thursday
CTV
Ontario will be releasing new COVID-19 modelling data late Thursday morning as the province sees a surge in Omicron cases.
The co-chair of the province’s COVID-19 Science Advisory Table Dr. Adalsteinn Brown will present the data at 11 a.m.
The news conference will be streamed live on CTVNewsToronto.ca and the CTV News Toronto App.
The latest projections come a day after Ontario expanded eligibility for vaccine booster shots and reduced capacity for certain large venues including sporting arenas and movie theatres. COVID-19 rapid tests are also going to be provided to residents free of charge at pop-up sites and select LCBO locations as part of a province-wide “holiday testing blitz.”
The last round of modelling was released in early December and found that COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations will continue to rise without further public health measures and vaccinations—however, the data did not include any information on the Omicron variant.
