At Wednesday afternoon news conference, Ontario’s associate chief medical officer of health presented the latest COVID-19 numbers: the province had 2,392 confirmed cases, including 37 dead. She explained: the province relies on its 34 local public health units to submit the data, which was retrieved the previous afternoon. Yaffe and Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams “continue to have conversations with public health units about the importance of submitting data related to COVID-19 cases into Ontario’s Integrated Public Health Information System,” she said. The Star maintains a daily tally of public reports from all 34 regional public health units in the province. “High-tech and public health are not synonymous,” he said.
