While our region seems to be getting hit harder by the variants, things look to be stabilizing at the provincial level. The number of new cases has stopped its skyward climb and the number of active cases (ie the ones who can infect other people) is slowly dropping (see top circle). The number of new cases as % of actives is dropping quickly, potentially thanks to the vaccines (fewer people to infect) and the positivity rate has stopped its climb, at least for now.
On the other hand, the growth in ICU beds continues, as should be expected, as this indicator lags the new cases. Assuming the new cases don't run rampant once again, we should hope to see the ICU number stabilize in a week or so, possibly two.
