The Ontario government has come under fire from critics after COVID-19 immunizations ramped down over the holidays. Opposition legislators also took issue with the closures, saying the province needs to be more transparent about its plans for immunization. With so many doses on hand and so few administered, there’s no excuse for the delay,” he said in a statement. “It is important to note that COVID-19 has further exacerbated staffing challenges in long-term care homes and hospitals across the province,” Hilkene said. The province did not release its daily summary of new COVID-19 cases and deaths on Monday, but reported 2,005 new infections and 18 new deaths on Sunday.
