This is the Sunday, December 27, 2020 coronavirus update. Because Halton's numbers weren't updated over the holiday, today is the first time since the lockdown that we can see how things are progressing. There was a 8% decrease in active cases in Oakville, but unfortunately 4 deaths. Halton numbers continue to increase across the board. For the first time in weeks, Ontario saw a decrease in active cases.
For the first time, Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccinations are recorded up to December 24. Once Moderna vaccinations are recorded they will be reported. Ontario has administered over 10,000 doses (2 doses are required) and Canada has administered almost 45,000 doses.
In the US and around the world the COVID-19 pandemic is showing no signs of slowing down.
Note: Oakville figures are updated seven days a week with Ontario and Global cases. Provincial school updates are temporarily paused under shutdown until in-person classes resume.
