June 23rd is the 175th day of the year. There are 191 days remaining until the end of the year.
Premier Doug Ford announced yesterday that the City of Toronto and the Peel Region will be allowed to enter Stage 2 as of Wednesday morning.
Windsor-Essex will be the only Ontario region at Stage One of reopening the province.
“We have to do it right, and unfortunately, the threat of the virus in Windsor-Essex is still too real,” Ford said.
The Windsor Essex Health Unit reported 32 new cases of COVID-19 Monday. Of the 32 new cases, 31 are connected to the local agri-food industry.
For the eighth day in a row, Ontario reported a new caseload of fewer than 200. A total of 161 new cases was reported Monday with just three deaths.
To the people of Windsor-Essex: Thank you for being patient. We are doing everything we can to assist in reducing case numbers so that you can join other regions in Stage 2. We’re ramping up our testing strategy, including sending some of our mobile testing units to large farms. pic.twitter.com/kT2mr2cqB1

Major League Baseball is coming back. Maybe. Possibly.
It’s complicated, but it boils down to this: The owners and the players were not able to come to a new agreement to spice up a shortened season, so the owners voted to proceed based on an agreement between the league and the Players Association from back in March.
So the owners are forcing the players back onto the field with a shortened season and the players getting a prorated salary.
They want the players to report to Spring Training 2.0 by July 1st, with the season beginning in late July. There will be about 60 games, which means the players would earn around 37% of their salaries, assuming that the shortened schedule is completed.
The only way the season won’t happen is if the players strike, which is unlikely or if the coronavirus ramps up again.
