TORONTO – Another 788 new ones from Covid-19, 3 deaths and hospitalizations that attest to growing.

It is true that today’s case count is down from Sunday, when 964 new infections were confirmed (the highest number in a single day since last May), but the number of new infections is a substantial jump from the 627 cases of last Monday.
