Ontario reports 821 new cases of COVID-19, allows dance studios to reopen in hot zones

Oct 22, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Ontario reported 821 new COVID-19 infections on Tuesday, an increase of more than 100 from the day before, and is allowing dance studios in Toronto, Peel, York and Ottawa to reopen.

Owners of dance studios had been pushing for change since the four hot zones went into modified Stage 2 restrictions, and a government review determined they are at less risk of transmission than gyms and fitness centres, which were closed in addition to indoor dining at bars, restaurants and food courts.

“They informed us that they were able to keep enough distance, that they were able to do that in a safe way,” Health Minister Christine Elliott said of dance studios.

“I know it is really difficult for some business owners to understand why they can’t be open,” added Elliott, who acknowledged “we’re still having conversations with other groups.”

Premier Doug Ford said there are many “boutique” fitness operations coming forward to plead their cases. “We’ll be reviewing that,” he said.

Alex Kucharski, who owns an F45 Training studio in Richmond Hill and is a director of the Ontario Independent Fitness Studio Association, accused provincial health officials of making “arbitrary” decisions and putting thousands of businesses to the brink of failure in the pandemic.

“Fitness studios offer the same services as dance studios — aerobic exercises performed indoors — and are able to operate safely with the same restrictions,” he told the Star.

In a statement, the government said “dance styles such as ballet, hip hop, and ballroom can still be taught and practised safely when certain public health measures are followed.” Zumba classes remain shuttered.

At least 80 cases have been , which has prompted the government to review COVID-19 guidelines for gyms and fitness centres.

Opposition parties said Elliott’s explanations were less than clear, with Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca calling them “very confusing.”

“This government has a real problem with mixed messages,” NDP Leader Andrea Horwath told reporters. “It doesn’t seem these decisions are well-thought out.”

The 16 per cent increase from 704 cases Monday came with a drop in testing to 24,049 nasal swabs processed at provincial labs, but Elliott said it’s “too early to say” if the rise could be blamed on Thanksgiving weekend gatherings.

Tuesday marked the fourth day with more than 800 new infections since a record 939 cases were reported on Oct. 9.

There were three more deaths, raising the toll to 3,053.

Toronto had 327 new cases and Peel 136, both increases from the previous day, while York had a decline to 64 and Ottawa was up more than two dozen to 79.

Cases doubled in Durham and Halton to 32 and 46 respectively, while Hamilton had 36, up from 17.

Across the province, hospitalizations increased by 22 people to 274, with 72 in intensive care and 45 ICU patients requiring ventilators to breathe.

The number of outbreaks in nursing homes increased by one to 87, with 23 more residents and 17 staff testing positive for the virus. At 59 nursing homes, the outbreaks involve only staff isolating at home and no residents are sick, said Long-Term Care Minister Merrilee Fullerton.

and 508 schools with infections, which is just over 10 per cent of the 4,828 schools in the province. Four schools are closed because of outbreaks.

COVID-19 outbreak declared in unit at Beeton’s Simcoe Manor

Aug 30, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Another COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Simcoe Manor in Beeton.

The County of Simcoe-run facility had just ended its — the largest such cluster of cases at an institutional facility in the Simcoe-Muskoka region during the pandemic — on Nov. 26.

Now, the Essa unit at the home has been placed under outbreak protocols, after one staff member tested positive during routine swabbing on Nov. 25.

“The staff member was asymptomatic and is believed to have contracted the virus in the community,” a statement on the county website says. “This employee tested negative for COVID-19 the week prior through our mandatory testing. This is disappointing news after declaring the outbreak over last week; however, we are pleased that this case was detected early.”

Between tests, the employee was cohorted to the unit, passed daily screening and was adhering to infection control and personal-protective equipment protocols within the home. The employee was retested on Nov. 28 and results are pending.

While staff have implemented enhanced monitoring, all other care units remain out of quarantine.

The previous outbreak had affected 75 residents and employees at the facility. Ten residents died after testing positive for the virus.

Meanwhile, there are another 38 COVID-19 cases in the Simcoe-Muskoka region today.

The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit reported the number on its website Dec. 1. That brings the total tally of incidents since the start of the pandemic to 2,150, including 267 known active ones.

Of today’s cases, Barrie and Bradford each reported eight. New Tecumseth (six), Orillia (four), Essa (three), Innisfil (two) and Gravenhurst, Oro-Medonte, Ramara, Severn and Wasaga Beach (one each) are also included. Details are pending in two incidents.

Three people 17 years of age or under — one each in Barrie, Bradford and Innisfil — made today’s list. Everyone else is between 18 and 79 years old.

An 18- to 34-year-old Orillia woman is connected to a congregate site outbreak; a 35- to 44-year-old Ramara woman contracted the virus during an institutional outbreak outside the health unit’s jurisdiction. Sources of infection otherwise range from “close contact” and “community-acquired” to “under investigation.”

So far during the pandemic, 1,819 people have successfully recovered. But there are 13 currently in hospital.

And 52 have died, including 34 in long-term-care and retirement facilities.

Simcoe Manor is the only long-term-care or retirement facility in the region with an outbreak right now.

Schools operating under outbreak protocols are Angus’s Nottawasaga Pines Secondary and Barrie’s St. Joan of Arc Catholic High, Willow Landing Elementary and Warnica Public.

This week, there have been 131 new cases recorded. There were 185 during all of last week and a record-setting 200 the week prior.

Wasaga father of three is $150,000 richer after lottery win

Aug 27, 2021 , , , , by shlf

A Wasaga Beach father of three is $150,000 richer after he scratched a winning ticket.

Scott Patterson won the prize on The Bigger Spin instant game.

“I scratched my ticket and saw that I won an in-store spin,” he said. “My heart was pounding when I took the ticket to the store. I was watching the spin and when it landed on $150,000, I couldn’t believe it. I kept thinking, please don’t have a heart attack.”

The construction worker told his wife when he picked her up from work, but she didn’t believe him. “I’m a bit of a prankster. She’s waiting in the truck for me today and still doesn’t believe me,” he said. 

Patterson said he plans to pay some bills and to talk to a financial advisor about his next steps.

“This win is a huge opportunity for my kids, I want to make the most of it for them,” he said.

“It’s reassuring to know my kids can use this win to start their lives off right.”

The winning ticket was purchased at the Great Canadian Superstore in Wasaga Beach.
