It gives hope that the deadly virus can be controlled by taking proper measures. Also, it insinuates that the transmission rate of the disease has been dropped recently.
There are about 31,000 positive cases of COVID-19 that were reported in Ontario. Now it is believed there are only around 6000 active cases. Therefore, the number of recoveries is crossing the number of new cases for a few days. This has sparked hope in people.
