The latest news about coronavirus from Canada and around the world on Monday. This record will be up to date on the day. Web links to longer stories if available.
7:45 p.m.: Toronto is “very close” to getting a federal investment so that other people with COVID-19 who are at risk of infection at home can soon isolate themselves in a loose room with food, laundry and Wi-Fi for up to two weeks.
Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s senior public fitness officer, asked the City Council this week to allow it to reach an agreement with the federal government to fund a 140-room “isolation site” through the city.
The program, inspired by New York and other cities, is aimed at other low-income people who are inflamed but, due to overcrowded situations and other factors, ensures that they do not transmit the virus to others.
No site has yet been confirmed. The city estimates it would cost $12.7 million to operate a 140-room facility for one year.
Mr. Coun. Joe Cressy, Toronto’s public health president, said Toronto is “very close” to obtaining federal funds, and called the allocation a fair investment to save him a wave of COVID-19 at the main time.
The David Rider has more details.
5:35 p.m.: With 23 new COVID-19 infections reported in the region on Monday, the GTA has noticed the fewest new cases in a day in more than five months, according to Star’s most recent count.
It’s been 131 days since March 18, the last time the five sets of exercises at the GTA reported fewer than 25 new infections, long before the worst of the pandemic hit Ontario.
At that time, only one of the people of Ontario had died from the virus; Since then, more than 40,000 people in the province have been infected.
At 5pm on Monday, Ontario Regional Health Offices reported a total of 40,873 reported or probable cases of COVID-19, 2,799 deaths, up to 1,50 cases in 24 hours.
As has been the case in recent days, the new infections reported on Monday came basically from outside the GTA.
Within the region, Toronto reported five new cases on Monday, its lowest level since March week, the York and Durham regions, one each, and the Halton domain has not yet reported new infections. The Just Peel region, which has noticed that the number of instances drops more slowly than elsewhere, has been reported in two digits, with 16 new instances.
Elsewhere, Windsor-Essex (41 cases) and Ottawa (28) continued to record the worst rates of new infections. Both sets of exercises experienced increases in some cases in July.
The Star count includes some patients reported as “maximum probability” cases of COVID-19, meaning they have symptoms and contacts or background that imply that they are most likely inflamed with the disease but have not yet gained a positive laboratory test.
The province also cautions its data, published daily at 10:30 a.m., may be incomplete or out of date due to delays in the reporting system, saying that in the event of a discrepancy, “data reported by (the health units) should be considered the most up to date.”
2:10 p.m.: Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto Medical Health Officer, reports that there have only been five new infections, the lowest buildup in “some time.”
De Villa expressed fear that the virus will return to other cities and countries when they reopened.
“We want to stay at the forefront of the virus to keep moving forward” until it reopens, villa said, adding that his public fitness equipment is actively for a long-term outbreak of infections in Toronto.
2:10 p.m.: Quebec public health authorities say they are seeing a worrying spike in infections among teens and young adults.
Prime Minister Genevieve Guilbault said at a press convention today that a significant portion of COVID-19 cases in the province affects other people between the ages of 15 and 34.
Guilbault says that despite the fact that the COVID-19 scenario in Quebec remains under control, other young people will have to recognize that they are not immune to fitness-related headaches related to the new coronavirus.
The minister also surprised to see photographs of the protests against masks in Montreal and Quebec City over the weekend, in which demonstrators approached reporters and did not adhere to fitness patterns.
She says authorities will crack down on protesters who put the health of others at risk.
Health officials reported 145 more cases of COVID-19 since Sunday, bringing the total to 58728. No new deaths were reported.
Quebec has had a total of 5,667 COVID-19-related deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. There are 200 people in hospital with the disease, including seven in intensive care.
Guilbault said that while most young people are less likely to suffer from the disease, “they can be transmission vectors to other, more vulnerable people, such as their parents or grandparents.”
1:10 p.m. (Update): Prime Minister Doug Ford says up to $4 billion is being provided to municipalities for COVID-19. The unique investment will go to shelters, food banks, public fitness and public transport. It is not yet known how much Toronto will receive.
Half of the $4 billion in investment will go to public transportation: $1 billion from Ottawa, $1 billion from the province.
1:00 p.m.: The federal government appears to have eased restrictions on the Canada-U.S. border. They would have allowed freshmen from the United States to enter the country.
An update to government rules for foreign academics, quietly released Friday, now indicates that U.S. academics may no longer want an exam permit issued on or before March 18, the day border restrictions were first announced.
This requirement has led parents of many first-year American students to complain that it would have been for their children to enter the country to begin their studies.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship canada now says border agents will settle for a “cover letter at the point of entry” indicating that the student has been approved for an exam permit, from a permit approved by March 18.
Other parents in the U.S. remain cautious because regulations require anyone seeking to enter Canada for “non-discretionary or non-optional purposes,” a description that can come with academics whose courses are taught entirely online.
And it turns out that the exception applies only to academics in the United States, where COVID-19 cases have increased in recent weeks.
Nick Keung of The Star recounted last week’s ban on students.
Abhya Adlakha of the Star spoke about the demanding situations foreign academics face when taking online courses.
12:30 p.m.: An Alberta senator urges Ottawa to fund a Canadian company to expand a COVID-19 national vaccine in the face of the threat Canadians will have to queue to find a cure for a foreign-made pandemic.
“I really do believe that we need to keep the pressure now on the government of Canada, whom I’m not criticizing. I get that this is an unusual time. And this may be in hand, or it may have fallen through the cracks. But we can’t allow that to happen,” Sen. Doug Black said in an interview Monday.
“I don’t criticize anyone. But I’ll criticize other people if they don’t see this as an opportunity for Canadians.”
Black added his voice to that of many fitness care professionals wondering why the Trudeau government has still taken a resolution on the $35 million proposal to fund Providence Therapeutics.
Providence has told the government it could deliver five million doses of its new mRNA vaccine by mid-2021 for use in Canada if it were able to successfully complete human testing.
Providence CHIEF executive Brad Sorenson told The Canadian Press that he had not gained a government reaction since last May, after his company submitted his proposal in April and after the government contacted him as a vaccine manufacturer.
The MRS generation is new and unproven, Black and others say it has potential.
11:45 a.m.: Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott tweeted that Ontario reported 119 new cases Monday morning. Locally, 30 of the province’s 34 public fitness teams report five or fewer cases, and 16 report that there are no new cases. Windsor-Essex reports 40 new cases and 28 more in Ottawa, he said.

The Marlins’ first home game against Baltimore canceled, such as the New York Yankees game in Philadelphia. The Yankees would have been in the same clubhouse the Marlins used last weekend.
The Marlins postponed their return flight on Sunday night after their last opposition to the Phillies.
Major League Baseball announced the cancellation of the two games approximately 7 and a half hours before the first scheduled pitch, indicating that more tests are being conducted on COVID-19. “Members of the Marlins organization are preparing to await the final results of those results,” MLB said in a statement.
Miami pitcher Jose Ureña scored his scheduled start to Sunday’s game, and catcher Jorge Alfaro entered the disabled list on Friday. No explanation was given as to why those moves, but manager Don Mattingly said those who tested positive would be quarantined in Philadelphia.
The Marlins’ precarious physical condition has raised new doubts about MLB’s ability to end the season as a pandemic. In Cincinnati, Reds baseman Mike Moustakas and midfielder Nick Senzel felt bad Sunday, a day after a teammate was on the disabled list because he tested positive for COVID-19.
11:15 a.m.: Google will keep its workers at home until at least next July, making the search engine giant the first major U.S. company to formalize such a long schedule against the coronavirus pandemic.
The measure will affect nearly all of the approximately 200,000 full-time and contracted workers from Google’s parent company Alphabet Inc., and it is certain to expose other tech giants who have scheduled staff to return as early as January.
Alphabet’s executive leader, Sundar Pichai, took the resolution himself last week after a debate between Google Leads, an internal high-ranking organization that presides over, according to a user close to the issue. A small number of Google workers were reported later in the week, other known people said.

8:20 a.m.: Quebec public transport will have to wear a mask today at the end of a two-week grace period.
Agencies throughout the province should deny users access to buses and the subway if they do not wear masks.
Since July 13, Quebec has made the mask mandatory for any public transport, with the sole exception of those who cannot wear it for fitness reasons.
The Quebec government stated in pronouncing the measure that there would be no fine, but that other unmasked persons would be denied service once the era of grace was over.

Quebec has also wearing masks in closed public spaces since 18 July, a resolution that has been widely accepted but has also provoked protests over the next two weekends.
6:05 a.m.: Suggesting that a smaller contingency plan that opposes the pandemic may be possible, the White House has continued Monday’s planned launch of the $1 trillion effort through Senate Republicans as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked the GOP’s “disorder” as a waste of time during the crisis.

6:00 a.m.: Muslim pilgrims have begun arriving in Mecca for a drastically reduced hajj as the Saudi government balances surveillance of the kingdom of one of the main pillars of Islam and protection against a global pandemic.
The hajj, which begins on Wednesday, attracts about 2.5 million people during five intense days of worship at one of other people’s largest gatherings around the world.
This year, Saudi Arabia’s Hajj Ministry said that between 1,000 and 10,000 people already living in the kingdom could make the pilgrimage. Two-thirds of these pilgrims will come from foreign nationals in Saudi Arabia and a third will be Saudi citizens.

On Sunday night, Ontario’s regional health offices reported a total of 40,723 cases shown or likely of COVID-19, 2,798 deaths, or 104 cases in 24 hours.
As has been the case in recent days, the new infections reported on Sunday basically affected younger patients; the composition of the epidemic in the province has been replaced since the spring.
In mid-April, in the province’s first daily outbreak, the maximum reported cases referred to patients over the age of 60, a peak that coincided with a series of devastating outbreaks in Ontario’s nursing homes. But since then fewer older people have become inflamed, and in July, most new infections were reported in patients under the age of 40.

The province also warns that its knowledge, disclosed daily at 10:30 am, would possibly be incomplete or overcome by delays in the reporting system, noting that in case of discrepancy, “the knowledge reported through (health units) of as the maximum updated” will be considered.
