10:30 a.m.: Ontario is reporting 423 new COVID-19 cases Sunday, the province’s largest single-day total in nearly two months. The province’s seven-day average is up to 261 cases daily, or 12.5 cases per 100,000 per week. The province last reported more than 400 cases in a day on June 14 amid a steep drop following Wave 3. As of midnight Sunday night, non-essential U.S. travellers who have had a full course of a Health Canada-approved COVID-19 vaccine will again be allowed on Canadian soil. “The Smoke That Thunders” — the English translation of what the waterfall is called in the Sotho language — is still mighty, but the COVID-19 pandemic has reduced visitors to a trickle.
