Cases are growing in Niagara Falls, especially among young people.

More than half of the recent cases in the Region have been people under 30.
Public Health reported 21 new cases of the virus yesterday and eight outbreaks.
Five of the outbreak are in healthcare facilities, two linked to locations in the community and one in a congregate living home.
This is the largest spike in cases for the Region since the outbreak at Pioneer Flower Farms in St. Catharines on June 1st.
Right now, Doug Ford says there are no plans to pull regions back to Stage 2 despite the recent outbreaks.
The premier says none of the spike have been too bad.
