Premier Ford is calling on the federal govt to take further action to prevent travel-related cases of #COVID19. Ontario news release: "1.8% of all COVID cases are related to international travel". Graph shows travel is only category that hasn't increased at exponential rate.
Travel is responsible for an even tinier portion of Ontario's second wave of #COVID19.
My math shows travel-related cases make up just 1.0% of the roughly 216,000 new cases reported since Sept. 1.

The province counts travel-related cases as "Individuals who travelled outside of Ontario within 14 days before their symptoms began" so that means the numbers would not include people who got directly infected by a returning traveler here. #COVID19Ontario https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data/covid-19-case-data-glossary#infection-source
