Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.
TORONTO – Ontario is in the sixth wave of the pandemic. An epidemiologist, Dr. Isaac Bogoch, specialist in infectious diseases, says so, but above all the numbers seem to say it: in a week, hospitalizations have increased by 23% and at the moment there are 790 patients with Covid-19 present in the hospitals of the province, compared to 655 just 24 hours earlier and 639 a week ago. →
TORONTO – Slight increase in Covid hospitalizations today in Ontario. 1,106 people in hospital, compared to 1,038 yesterday. 319 in ICU, same number on Tuesday. However, the percentage of those in hospital for the virus and not for other pathologies falls: 49% for ordinary Covid wards, 77.5% for intensive care. →
TORONTO – Last hours for Erin O’Toole at the head of the Conservative Party. Or at least this is the most likely scenario on the eve of the vote, organized for tomorrow within the Conservative caucus, with which the fate of the leader and the possible change in leadership of the Canadian right will have to be decided.
TORONTO – Even today Ontario recorded a very high number of infections: 13,578. Always a lot, even if down from 16,714 on Sunday and 18,445 on Saturday. Now the seven-day moving average of daily cases is 14,074: a week ago it was almost half, 7,550.
TORONTO – Over 1,400 new cases of Covid-19 and another 5 deaths related to the virus, today, in Ontario: the new infections are 1,429, down from 1,536 but up from 928 a week ago. With the increase in the number of cases in the last month, the seven-day moving average continues to rise and reaches 1,400 (a week ago it was 975): it is the highest average since last May 27 when it was 1,441. The positivity rate also reaches a maximum never seen in almost seven months: with 33,400 tests processed it is now at 6.6%, the highest since last May 18 when it was 7.6% (a week ago it was at 3.8 %: almost doubled in seven days). →
