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 – Another 11 victims related to Covid-19, today, in Ontario: the total number of deaths from pandemics in the province rises to 13,304.

TORONTO – Ontario health officials today reported 476 new cases of Covid-19 and 14 deaths. The contagion count comes after 429 new infections were recorded in Ontario on Tuesday, 511 on Monday, 580 on Sunday and 704 on Saturday. Ontario’s seven-day moving average is now 573, down from last week’s 610, and is steadily declining. But the good news is another: 39,460 tests were processed today, so many more than Tuesday (when there were 25,441), but despite this the cases remain well below 500, so the positivity rate still falls, from 1.8 percent to 1.7 percent.
