One new case related to international travel !!!! Why is anyone travelling out of the country right now. WTF
Well if you dont know, there are many people that work everyday in Michigan and live on this side. They just say international travel cause they leave the country everyday. Go sit at customs at 530am and watch all the vehicles going over.
WHO cares..ha ha get it..😆🍻
Idiot
And why did my wife and I see 2 trucks heading east, with Michigan plates, with trailers on the back with side by sides and atvs? I just don’t understand that one.
Why didn’t you follow them
Thought there was no international travel
Bunch of Buttercups here
Fake news
Tammy Ervin ….sarcasm. Oh boy lol
Tammy Ervin I’m still not scared or concerned any more. It is what it is. Off I go adventuring! Stay safe my friend!
Our behaviour now will dictate our future.
Wash your hands.
Keep your distance
Wear a mask.
PLEASE 🙏
Stop the spread!
Why don’t they release a list of place these people have been? That way, anyone who’s been in that relative vicinity around that time frame can go get tested as well. Just to weed out more possible cases that are asymptomatic
Erika Anneli they think its only important o people they were in direct conact with baffles me as well. If they were out and about we were also exposed.
I just dont get it
Susie Belsito everyone should be tested. Get to the bottom of it. It almost feels like their just throwing up their hands and going with the flow
Erika Anneli such a terrible situation.
Erika Anneli there is an app that does just that. FORD has yet to offer it to ontario residents !
And less details then APH used to give.
Very small number.
Tom Jolley that’s always how it starts
Tom Jolley easy to say small number…until those 3 cases are your family members 🙁🙁

Mike Goodall I mention 13 recoveries 3 times a day on ONNtv at 8am, 1pm, and 7pm.
Christopher no disrespect, but I don’t watch ONNtv. I’ll assume maybe others don’t as well. ☮️
Tammy Ervin now you know why you should 🙂.
Craig Huckerby lol thanks.. I’d rather read. I “should” do what I like. ☮️
I’ve read many many articles you’ve written. 😊 Well done!
Tammy Ervin and we thank you for that !!!
It’s also been on CTV numerous times
These could be results from previously tested people just coming back.
Jim Sweezey Go to the link. They were just tested.
Even worse if they were results from previously tested people. Those infected people, who didn’t know they were infected, have been infecting others without knowing.
Jennifer Obreene You’re correct Jennifer. Thanks
Tests still coming back. It was NOT this weekend.
So two people have gotten it but they don’t know how they got it?
due to travel? HOW?
By travelling obviously!
Leslie Greenwood i was thinking the same
All I know is I have a nice weiner
How many suicides overdoses bankrupt or people in trauma?
Jeff thats a valid question and its horrible. supports need to be available. but what would u suggest as an alternative to the lockdown? im sincerely asking.
Lori Filice Harrison lock up the sick people and politicians
Lori Filice Harrison not even one percent is sick why lock up healthy people to provide for themselves
Jeff Dupre 🤣
Of course there are tests are still coming back
Just wait until next weekend.
Probably be worse
