Few weeks ago, Victoria was hit by a second wave of coronavirus outbreak and resulted in Stage 4 restriction lockdown. The number of infection cases soared to more than 700 cases a day.
No one wanted the lockdown to take place, which initially would last for 6 weeks, but it ended with an extention of another two more weeks.
The curve started to flatten, and eventually down to single digit a few days ago, and now back to low double digit. The low number as explained by the Premier was likely due to low number of people coming forward for testing, nevertheless it was comforting to see a decline in infection cases.
Even with tough restrictions, there were many defiant people who attended private parties, or refused wearing face masks.
Many people are not happy about the 5 km travel zone limit, while hospitality operators' patience is running out.
In about three weeks' time, restriction will be eased further, depending on the what will happen during this period. I like to see that the Premier is going to stand firm even though he will be labelled as a "dictator".
In my opinion, his hard line management style is justifiable. Many cities around the world are experiencing a resurgence of infections, and their governments and health authorities describe the situation as critical. Montreal in Quebec as at Sept 28, reported 799 new cases which brought the total to 73,450 cases since the start of the pandemic. Between Sept. 22 and 27. The total number of deaths in the province stood at 5,833.
Premier François Legault of Quebec pointed out that more than half the cases of community spread were happening in the younger population. Quebec would became Canada’s first province to reintroduce tough shut down measures.
Several cities in Ontario are posting record cases. According to The New York Times, "Epidemiologists attributed the growing numbers of case to inadequate contact tracing; an unwillingness to shut down schools and businesses; and people letting their guards down."
It is less likely for one to be infected in open space than at an indoor area, such as restaurant, religious assembly and at a friend's house.
So, keep you face mask on, wash your hands, observe social distancing and stay safe.
