Canada's chief public health officer said today transmission of the novel coronavirus is largely under control in this country, but warned that the caseload can flare up at any time. "The epidemiology indicates that transmission is largely under control, while also showing us that cases can reemerge at any time or place," Dr. Theresa Tam told an updated modelling briefing Monday. The number of daily cases is steadily declining, along with the number of hospitalized and critical care cases, said Tam. Of Ontario's 257 confirmed new cases of COVID-19, reported today, 177 are from the Windsor-Essex area. Tam touched on the issue of migrant farm workers during her briefing with colleague Dr. Howard Njoo today.
