G7 leaders are set to discuss climate change &#8212; a priority for the Trudeau Liberals &#8212; today and each have already committed to achieve net-zero emissions by no later than 2050.

The number of COVID-19 patients in the ICU fell to 45 on Friday.
Nearly 3.4 million British Columbians &#8212; almost 66 per cent of B.C.&#8217;s population &#8212; have had at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Of them, nearly 498,000 people, or 9.6 per cent of B.C.&#8217;s population &#8212; have also had a second dose.
British Columbia has reported 146,137 cases since the start of the pandemic, while 1,730 people have died.
B.C. is expected to move to to Step 2 of it&#8217;s 2021 restart plan on Tuesday, which would allow for larger outdoor gatherings, an end to provincial travel restrictions and the resumption of some indoor activities like movie screenings.

The province reported 180 new cases and one new death on Friday, as the number of people in hospital continued to drop.

COVID-19: 26 new cases confirmed in Simcoe Muskoka

New Brunswick says just under 10,000 people now need to receive their first vaccine dose to reach the 75 per cent mark to begin Phase 1 of its reopening plan.
Also on Friday, the province announced one new case of COVID-19. The new case is in Zone 3 (Fredericton region) and is a contact of a previously confirmed case.
Public Health says 73.6 per cent of New Brunswickers aged 12 and older have received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. In number terms, that means another 9,664 people still need to get a shot to reach the 75-per cent figure.
The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Brunswick is now 2,284. Since Thursday, five people have recovered for a total of 2,142 recoveries.

There have been 44 deaths, and the number of active cases is 97.
Four patients are hospitalized, including two in intensive care. One of those in intensive care is at a hospital outside New Brunswick.
On Thursday, 1,336 tests were conducted for a total of 348,837.
<h3>Cumberland County, Nova Scotia to be included in first phase of Path to Green</h3>
The province also announced Friday that Nova Scotia&#8217;s Cumberland County has been added to the first phase of New Brunswick’s Path to Green.
The first phase will come into effect once 75 per cent of eligible New Brunswickers receive their first dose of a vaccine.
The rest of Nova Scotia will not be included until the province reaches the second phase.

Under the loosened restrictions, people who travel to New Brunswick from Cumberland County; Prince Edward Island; Newfoundland and Labrador; and the Avignon and Témiscouata regions in Quebec will not be required to isolate or be tested.
The province said travel registration will still be required.

Cumberland County in Nova Scotia has been added to the first phase of New Brunswick’s Path to Green.

COVID-19: N.B. inches closer to vaccine goal and Phase 1 of reopening plan

TORONTO &#8212; Ontario stores and restaurants were teeming with customers Friday as the province lifted some of its <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/covid/">COVID-19</a> restrictions for the first time in months.
Patios that have sat empty since last year were filled with diners and lively conversation once more and stores had lines snaking down the street as customers rushed to buy goods they&#8217;ve had to purchase online or do without.
The return of dining out and many retailers stem from Ontario&#8217;s latest COVID-19 measures, which now allow up to four people per restaurant table or entire households to eat together on outdoor patios.
The province is also permitting non-essential retailers to operate at 15 per cent capacity and with no limitations on what goods they can sell.

Carolina Lagos, who lined up outside a Winners in Oakville, Ont. on Friday morning, was thrilled with the return of in-person shopping because her three growing kids were in need of shoes.
&#8220;My daughter has flip-flops right now. That&#8217;s all she had,&#8221; she said. &#8220;She&#8217;s outgrown all the things from last spring and then last Christmas we didn&#8217;t get to shop at all.&#8221;
Just as excited to see restrictions lifted was Susan Amres, a Mississauga woman who took the day off work to celebrate.
She kicked off reopening with a shopping trip to Giant Tiger before heading with her family to the nearby Symposium Cafe, where she had made reservations as soon as she learned patio dining would be permitted.

The restaurant&#8217;s small patio appeared to be at capacity with diners sitting under brightly coloured umbrellas and at spaced out tables around 11 a.m. local time.
&#8220;To see this many out this early is really good news,&#8221; said the cafe&#8217;s manager, Matthew Burnip.
He saw sales plummet to one-fifth of their normal rate during the pandemic because his cafe had to operate solely through takeout and couldn&#8217;t allow customers to enjoy its large dining area.
&#8220;But we kept trucking on,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now that we are open, hopefully we will be back and doing good.&#8221;
Business owners like Burnip are hopeful this will be the last time they have to lockdown because COVID-19 cases in Ontario have been falling for months.

Hundreds of people remain hospitalized and the province has been forced to send dozens of critically ill <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/coronavirus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a> patients out of province for care due to lack of ICU space.
Health officials reported 251 new cases and six additional deaths Thursday. Since March 2020, Manitoba has reported 53,650 cases and 1,087 people have died.
On Thursday Premier Brian Pallister and the province&#8217;s chief public health officer unveiled a reopening plan, which will loosen public health restrictions as more people get vaccinated.

				Can I get a COVID-19 vaccine yet in Manitoba? How to book it and where to go			</a>
		
	
The first immunization target is to have more than 70 per cent of Manitobans aged 12 and up get a first dose, and more than 25 per cent have a second dose by Canada Day.
If that happens, the province said businesses and other facilities will be able to open at 25 per cent capacity.
Businesses will be allowed to open at half capacity if 75 per cent of people have had one dose and 50 per cent have had a second shot by the August long weekend.

The final target calls for 80 per cent of the population to have had one shot and 75 per cent with two shots by Labour Day. In that case, most businesses, services and facilities would be able to open with limited restrictions.
So far, nearly 68 per cent of Manitobans have received a first dose of vaccine.

The province has been under tight public health orders since a delayed third wave caused a significant surge in <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/coronavirus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">COVID-19</a> infections last month.
Manitoba is slightly loosening health orders Saturday to allow small outdoor gatherings, but restrictions on businesses will remain in place.

Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
<a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6798969/new-coronavirus-symptoms/">Symptoms</a> can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6640386/coronavirus-symptoms/">contact public health authorities</a>.
To <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6636818/cough-kiss-touch-how-the-new-coronavirus-can-and-cant-spread/">prevent the virus from spreading</a>, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out. In situations where you can&#8217;t keep a safe distance from others, public health officials recommend the use of a non-medical face mask or covering to prevent spreading the respiratory droplets that can carry the virus. In some provinces and municipalities across the country, masks or face coverings are now mandatory in indoor public spaces.

Manitoba currently has 3,600 active cases of COVID-19.

How Many Cases Today

Ontario Coronavirus

Ontario reports 574 new COVID-19 cases, administers record of nearly 200K vaccinations in a day

The <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/manitoba-human-rights-commission" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Manitoba Human Rights Commission</a> says it&#8217;s monitoring Manitoba&#8217;s move to issue cards confirming full immunization against <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> and launch incentive programs to encourage vaccination.
In a statement Thursday, the commission said it was reminding government — as well as employers, service and housing providers — of their &#8220;obligation to respect human rights when imposing vaccination requirements / requiring proof of vaccine.&#8221;

It says requiring individuals to produce proof of COVID-19 vaccination to access employment, public services or housing could result in discrimination based on disability, religious belief, political belief, social disadvantage and age.
&#8220;Requiring individuals to be vaccinated and produce proof of vaccine may also negatively impact individuals who cannot equitably access vaccination and other public health resources for reasons related to disadvantage, including houselessness and poverty,&#8221; the statement reads in part.

&#8220;The Commission is also mindful that imposing identification requirements can result in adverse effects for communities that are more disproportionately impacted by carding, profiling or other identification requirements, such as Black, Indigenous and people of colour and people with disabilities.&#8221;
On Tuesday, the province unveiled a new proof-of-immunization card, available to all Manitobans two weeks after they receive their second dose of vaccine.
The cards will allow carriers to travel within Canada without being subject to the province&#8217;s mandatory 14-day self-isolation period upon their return, grant them greater visitation rights at hospitals and personal care homes, and exempt them from having to self-isolate if they are a close contact of a COVID-19 case.

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister left open the possibility of using the cards to also determine access to major sporting events, museums and other facilities.
On Wednesday Pallister also announced a lottery for all people who have received two doses as a way to boost vaccination rates.
The commission said mandatory vaccination and vaccination identification requirements must meet certain standards to be permissible under human rights law.

For instance, the requirement for vaccination must be &#8220;adopted in an honest and good faith belief that it is necessary to the fulfillment of a legitimate employment or service-related purpose,&#8221; and be designed to minimize burden and &#8220;not treat one particular group more harshly than others without justification.&#8221;
Alternative approaches to the vaccine requirement must have been investigated and considered as well, the commission said.
As for vaccination incentives, the commission says disability, social disadvantage, religious belief, age and political belief may need to be considered.

&#8220;Under The Code, organizations cannot deny someone access to a good, benefit or program for reasons related to a Code-protected ground, unless that denial can be reasonably justified,&#8221; the commission said in the statement.
&#8220;Therefore, governments, employers, service or housing providers must ensure that vaccination incentive programs do not limit the equality rights of Code-protected groups.&#8221;
Global News has reached out to the provincial government for comment.

Opposition NDP Leader Wab Kinew, meanwhile, has said the government needs to ensure the immunization cards are easily available to marginalized people.
&#8220;I&#8217;m thinking about people who may not have ready access to the internet, who may not own a smartphone,&#8221; Kinew said Tuesday.

The province has said the cards, which will be available in both a physical and digital format, will include the person’s first and last name as well as a QR code, which when scanned, will confirm vaccination status.
The cards will include no personal health information, the province added.

Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
<a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6798969/new-coronavirus-symptoms/" target="_blank">Symptoms</a> can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/coronavirus-symptoms" target="_blank">contact public health authorities</a>.
To <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6636818/cough-kiss-touch-how-the-new-coronavirus-can-and-cant-spread/" target="_blank">prevent the virus from spreading</a>, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out. In situations where you can&#8217;t keep a safe distance from others, public health officials recommend the use of a non-medical face mask or covering to prevent spreading the respiratory droplets that can carry the virus. In some provinces and municipalities across the country, masks or face coverings are now mandatory in indoor public spaces.

The commission says it is reminding government of its ‘obligation to respect human rights when imposing vaccination requirements.’

Other provinces are cautiously reopening too, allowing outdoor dining, some shopping and other limited gatherings. But experts wonder if the more transmissible Delta variant of COVID-19 might jeopardize some of those big reopening plans, as cases appear to be growing across Canada.
Evidence from the U.K. suggests that the Delta variant spreads much more easily than other variants that have appeared in Canada so far. It currently represents around 91 per cent of new cases in the U.K., said the country&#8217;s secretary of state for health and social care Matt Hancock on Thursday.
Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, a prominent U.K. epidemiologist, told reporters that estimates of Delta&#8217;s transmission edge over Alpha — also known as B.1.1.7 — had narrowed, and &#8220;we think 60 per cent is probably the best estimate.&#8221;

In Canada, Alberta, B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario have confirmed to Global News that they are testing for cases of the Delta variant. The remaining provinces didn&#8217;t respond to Global&#8217;s request for comment by publication.
And cases seem to be increasing.
The <a href="https://bccovid-19group.ca/#posts" target="_blank">B.C. COVID-19 Modelling Group</a>, in a report on June 2, wrote, “The new variant of concern B.1.617.2 appears to be increasing in number in many jurisdictions, including BC.”
There have been 501 cases of the Delta variant in B.C. as of June 3, according to the BCCDC. Alberta has had 208 cases as of June 8, according to provincial data.

Ontario predicts that the Delta variant will soon take over in the province.
&#8220;The variant that hit India so hard is here and it is on track to be the dominant form of the virus this summer. But we believe we can control it with the right actions,” said Dr. Adalsteinn Brown, of the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, at a press conference Thursday.

Ontario is taking the Delta variant seriously when it comes to its vaccination strategy. The province announced Thursday that it would accelerate second dose appointments for Delta variant “hotspot” areas, in an effort to protect the highest-risk groups.
“That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re taking the steps that we are today, starting on Monday, to allow for those seven public health unit regions that have significant volumes of the Delta variant to be able to offer the second doses, assuming people have had their first dose within a time period before the 9th of May,” said Health Minister Christine Elliott at a press conference Thursday.

One dose of COVID-19 vaccine doesn’t protect from the Delta variant nearly as well as two, said Craig Jenne, an associate professor in the department of Microbiology Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Calgary.
“The evidence on the ground is that one shot of vaccine, so people who receive first dose, do not have full protection against Delta,” he said.
“In particular, it looks like the one shot might only be about 30 per cent effective. So, we need to make sure that people get that second dose, which has been shown to be very effective against Delta — greater than 80 per cent effective when people are fully vaccinated.”

				2nd COVID-19 shots prioritized to Ontario hot spots with high Delta variant starting June 14			</a>
		
	
Given the data, Ontario’s strategy of prioritizing hotspots for second doses might be a good one, Jenne said. “Now it’s time to double down on our effort to contain and limit the spread of Delta and the best way to do that is to get people in Delta hotspots fully vaccinated.”
Still, big events, even outdoors, might not be a great idea, he added.
“I think I’d be quite cautious about Stampede.”

The Delta variant is on track to become the dominant strain of COVID-19 in Ontario this summer, experts say, and it’s growing elsewhere in Canada, too.

Delta COVID-19 variant cases are rising, prompting caution on reopening plans

Saskatchewan reported its lowest seven-day average of new daily <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> infections in more than seven months as it added one to its death toll on Thursday.
Health officials said on Thursday there were 77 new cases, bringing the overall infection total in Saskatchewan to 47,517. The seven-day average of new daily infections is down to 79 which is the same figure reported on Nov. 6, 2020.

The latest death was reported in the central east zone &#8212; a person in their 70s, according to the provincial government.  There have been 553 <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/covid-19" target="_blank">COVID-19</a>-related deaths in Saskatchewan to date.
According to the provincial government, 41 new variants of concern (VOC) cases have been identified in Saskatchewan while the total is reported at 11,504.
The province’s hospitals are currently providing care for 101 patients with COVID-19: 82 are receiving inpatient care and 19 are in intensive care.

Active cases, which are total cases minus recoveries and deaths, now sit at 902 in Saskatchewan, according to the press release. This is the lowest number reported since Nov. 5, 2020, when it was 877.

Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
<a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6798969/new-coronavirus-symptoms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Symptoms</a> can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/coronavirus-symptoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">contact public health authorities</a>.
To <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/6636818/cough-kiss-touch-how-the-new-coronavirus-can-and-cant-spread/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">prevent the virus from spreading</a>, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out. In situations where you can’t keep a safe distance from others, public health officials recommend the use of a non-medical face mask or covering to prevent spreading the respiratory droplets that can carry the virus. In some provinces and municipalities across the country, masks or face coverings are now mandatory in indoor public spaces.
