Across Ontario, 80 cases were registered on Tuesday, with another 80 included in the daily reporting due to a data lag from last year, said Ministry of Health officials, bringing the reported number to 164. In actual cases, this means it is the lowest daily increase since September 9.

While Canada has seen significant increases in vaccine uptake in recent weeks, the global vaccination rate is significantly lagging. According to the latest available global health data, the number of people in the world with at least one dose is 24.5 percent.
