COVID-19 case counts are continuing to fall to levels not seen since March, as provinces further expand vaccine eligibility to all adults and public health restrictions appear to be finally turning the tide.Yet the feeling that the third wave has crested is not being felt in all parts of the country, as some provinces are still dealing with high infection rates and are struggling with straining intensive care units.The 4,586 new cases reported Monday was the lowest national daily count since March 29, right before infections surged to record levels in mid-April.
