I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their presentation. I have a couple of questions for Dr. MacLellan. She referred to 68 open outbreaks, down from 178. While the decline is welcome, the figure seems somewhat high considering the number of vaccinations that have taken place. Will Dr. MacLellan describe those outbreaks? Are they less severe than previous outbreaks? Are they among residents who have been vaccinated or staff?
