Btw there have only been 197 new cases in the past week in all of Northern Ontario (778,941 people). That's an average of 25 new cases per 100,000 per week. As per the Ontario government's guidelines, that's Orange Restrict Zone tier. Not Grey lockdown zone tier. The region in Northern Ontario with the highest rate (Northwestern Health Unit) has only 43 new cases per 100k per week.
The average in Southern Ontario is 172 new cases per 100k per week.
Why on earth is he going to extend the lockdown in Northern Ontario when there's very few cases there?
