11 a.m.
Ontario is reporting 2,359 new cases of COVID-19 today and 52 more deaths related to the virus.
The numbers mark a slight decline from the 2,662 cases recorded a day ago.
Meanwhile the province says it plans to expand an inspection blitz of big-box stores to ensure they’re complying with protocols meant to curb the spread of COVID-19.
The Ministry of Labour says inspection efforts focused on the Greater Toronto and Hamilton areas last weekend, but will concentrate on Ottawa, Windsor, Niagara and Durham Regions over the next two days.
