This is the Wednesday, June 9, 2021 coronavirus update. After over a week of decline, low recovery numbers today lead to active cases going up slightly in both Oakville and Halton. Oakville also added one new hospital case.
Ontario has great numbers all around: active cases, hospitalizations and ICU patients are all down today, though ventilators are slightly up. More than 1.25 million Ontarians are now fully vaccinated, almost 10% of the province's eligible population.
Oakville, like the rest of the province, will officially move into step one this Friday, June 11. But growing cases of the delta variant in Toronto and Peel, which require both doses of vaccine to be protected from, risk a fourth wave if hotspots don't receive more doses.
It was announced today that fully vaccinated Canadians (and permanent residents) will soon be able to skip hotel quarantines when returning to Canada, with a target start date of early July 2021.
10.09% of Canada's eligible population is now fully vaccinated, cumulative cases in Canada reach 1.4 million, and the worldwide total of administered vaccine doses surpassed two billion last weekend.
