For WR, as per Tom's post; 281 new cases for the week (+3) So the previous 7 days would have been 278. Unless I am not understanding something. Also to add, our positivity rate is much higher than Ontario.
Ontario, though, is doing very good, with numbers dropping very fast.
It looks like the region updated yesterday's number from 30 cases to 32 cases. So the 7-day average (which is what Tom is reporting as cases for the week, with the delta relative to yesterday) is only +1 from yesterday. Also, day that dropped off the average today is the holiday Monday... likely to have been less testing. One "bad" number in a day with otherwise good numbers for the region does not a crisis make.
Looking week over week, we were at a 7 day average of 344 a week ago and 281 today. The rate of decline might not match the provincial average, but it's still respectable.
