Last week, Ontario's top doctor caught some flak when he suggested we "normalize" COVID-19, speaking in the context of schools. Here in Waterloo region, associate medical officer of health Dr. Rabia Bana says normalizing COVID-19 basically means balancing the level of risk and of restrictions that need to be in place. In Waterloo region, young people have been answering that call. As of Wednesday, people in Waterloo region in their 30s and 40s were also above the provincial average. As of Friday, just over 83 per cent of people 12 and up have had at least one dose of the vaccine in Waterloo region.
