Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the handling of an outbreak of COVID-19 at a Kingston nail salon this week shows "the system is working." Asked if the outbreak signals a need to slow down reopening, Health Minister Christine Elliott said, "It doesn't mean that we have to move back on anything." Twenty-eight of Ontario's 34 public health units reported five or fewer new cases, Health Minister Christine Elliott said in a series of tweets this morning. However, a CBC News count based on data provided directly by public health units, which avoids lag time in reporting, puts the real toll at 2,692. Public health officials are currently tracking outbreaks in 57 of the province's 630 long-term care facilities.
