McLennan Ross Update for Wednesday

What we are seeing

As we mentioned here on May 29, 2020, the Government of Alberta announced that the state of public health emergency under the Public Health Act, will not be renewed. In contrast, the Legislature of the Government of Ontario voted on June 2, 2020 to extend its provincial state of emergency to June 30, 2020. This decision came after there were an additional 446 cases of COVID-19 reported by the Ministry of Health. These increases are due in part to an error made in flagging positive cases by two Toronto area hospitals, leading to thousands of Torontonians ignoring social distancing guidelines and gathering in close proximity together in local parks the previous weekend.
