That brings Ontario\u2019s total case count to 2,276 since an outbreak began last fall.<\/p>\n

Public health experts have encouraged cautious optimism on Ontario\u2019s slowing case counts given the ebb and flow of the highly contagious infectious disease.<\/p>\n

Alberta is also battling an outbreak, reaching 1,340 total cases since the outbreak there began in March. It surpassed the United States\u2019 case count earlier this week.<\/p>\n
