This is the biggest single-day increase in new cases in Ontario so far.

There have now been nine deaths from COVID-19 in Ontario.

Eight cases are classified as “resolved” — meaning the patient is no longer infectious. There
are 10,489 cases under investigation, and 24,458 are negative. 

Here in the Sudbury area, there have been four positive COVID-19 cases. There have been
428 COVID-19 tests submitted locally so far, according to updated information as of 10 a.m.
March 25.

In Northern Ontario, another confirmed positive COVID-19 case was reported yesterday — a
man in his 30s in the district of Timiskaming — bringing the total confirmed cases in the north to
10. That's the first positive case in the Timiskaming area.

In Canada as a whole, as of 6 p.m. March 24, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases sat at
1,959, the number of probable cases 833 and deaths at 27.

Please don’t kill my parents.

Please don’t make me have to send my child to hospital, sick, terrified,

without mommy, being cared for by strangers in masks and space-suits...
when they have time to care for my child.

Stay. The. Fack. Home.

That’s just the ones who were tested. There is no way that’s the true
count

good point victor, the testing process is actual cancer, if you feel like
you may have symptoms or have been in contact with someone
returning from a trip and want to get tested, they simply send you
home for quarantine and tell you to come back if you feel worse, its
understandable because of how scarce the testing kits are but still

this is why we need to look at raising our medical limit, specifically

making tests more widely available for health practitioners to use

There’s so many more cases out there, not everyone is getting tested.
Community spread is happening. Stay home.

Special thanks to all those returning March breakers who thought their
vacation was way more important than the health and welfare of the entire
country. I'm sure everyone told the truth at the airports and went straight
home, no grocery stop or gas

especially comforting that airports only ask a few yes or no questions

to returning travelers, what a dogpoop screening system

Why’s it so quiet out in Sudbury? I just got back from Italy and there wasn’t
hardly any people at Walmart, the independent grocery stores or at bell
park? I was out getting some fresh air today because I have a slight fever
and I thought the fresh air was going to do me some good.
