The province of Ontario has confirmed 308 new cases of coronavirus, with 35 more deaths. Out of 1,669 total deaths in the province, 796 of these took place in long term care homes.
This leads to questions about the efficacy of a blanket lockdown on the whole of society, and and whether the restrictive policies of social distancing, self-isolation, quarantine, and work stoppages should just apply only to the most vulnerable.
Deaths in long-term care homes account for 74 percent of the deaths recorded in Ontario.
The provincial total now stands at 20,546, according to Toronto City News, with more than 14,000 recoveries.
In Canada as a whole, there have been slightly under 70,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with 4,906 deaths, with 32,650 recoveries. Ontario and Quebec have suffered the most deaths by a large margin.
Quebec, for instance, has had some 37,000 cases of coronavirus, while Ontario has suffered only had some 20,000. Despite their population, British Columbia seems to have dealt with the virus particularly efficiently with only 2,300 cases of the virus.
Over recent weeks, premiers across the country have grabbled with the idea of lifting the economic restrictions. Nevertheless, it is unclear when Canada will go back to life as usual.
