COVID-19 COUNTS HIT NEW HIGHS.

The fall resurgence of COVID-19 continued to smash daily infection records in Quebec and Ontario on Sunday, with worrisome hikes in other provinces as well. Quebec reported 1,397 new cases, up from a previous record set about one month ago, while Ontario announced 1,328 daily cases, nearly 200 more than Saturday’s record- breaking tally. Nationally, the Public Health Agency of Canada reported 262,466 confirmed cases Sunday, with spikes in several regions. That included Manitoba, which reported 441 new cases and three new deaths. Meanwhile, B.C.’S Lower Mainland began adjusting to new restrictions meant to rein in an explosion of cases. The province reported 567 new cases Saturday, most of them in the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health regions.
