Such a scenario is playing out this week in Ontario, where public health officials said the province was experiencing the peak of the outbreak in the broader community despite registering some sharp single-day spikes in the number of new cases. The peak has not yet arrived in the province\u2019s long-term care system, where roughly half of all cases and deaths have occurred.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div id=\"ad__inner-32\">\n<div>\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<h2>Article content continued<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cPeaks are not a single day,\u201d said Steini Brown, dean of the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, as he presented the province\u2019s latest projections on Monday. \u201cThey\u2019re not a nice single sort of spike.

Public health officials in British Columbia said last week that they had succeeded in flattening the curve, meaning they\u2019re past the peak of new COVID-19 cases.
