New cases of COVID-19 in Canada’s most populous province could increase more than sixfold, surpassing 30,000 daily in early June if public health measures are weak and vaccination rates remain flat, a expert group that advised the province of Ontario.

Even if measures to control the virus are “moderate,” the number of patients in Ontario’s ICUs could reach 2,000 in May, up from 695 on Friday.

The Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons told doctors last week that perhaps they should decide soon who can and cannot receive intensive care.
