Waterloo Region reported four new cases today (0.3% of the total and 7.8% of the active cases), but also added 10 more cases to yesterday's count, bringing it up to 19. New cases are now averaging 13.7% of active cases over the past seven days. 51 active cases (up +17 -- 50% -- since Wednesday).
The top five regions account for 175 of the total 213 new cases, or 82%. Congratulations to Waterloo Region for making the list.
Yeah, this isn't good. I have to wonder where most of the cases are, what the background on it is. My job sort of depends on things progressing, not regressing.
I think too that region needs to start checking restaurants (be it sit in or not) to make sure staff is following rules. I've been to a couple Sharma restaurants (take out) and none of the staff wear masks. I get that working in a hot environment sucks, but not worth the risk. I also think some stores need to be more proactive and start rejecting customers that don't wear masks, and accommodate in a different way. This is especially true of malls, I was at both Conestoga Mall and Fairview Park Mall today, and at Conestoga Mall there were quite a few people w/o masks, and these people were also being served in stores. It seemed that only that the Apple Store and Sage were following procedure.
