August 11th is the 223rd day of 2021. There are 142 days remaining until the end of the year.

The Trudeau government has announced that it is working on creating proof-of-vaccination documents for Canadians to use at home and while travelling abroad.

Fully vaccinated Canadians will soon be able to get a document that will certify their COVID-19 vaccine history for the purpose of international travel.

It will be digital, with an option for those who can’t or don’t want a digital certificate. The document, or “passport,” will include the holder’s vaccination history, including the type of vaccines they received, the date and precise location.

As of Wednesday, over 71% of Canadians have received at least one dose, and 62% are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and its variants.

Three new positive COVID-19 cases reported Wednesday by Chatham-Kent Public Health.

There was 1 recovery, the total active case count locally is at 9.

There were 324 new cases reported Wednesday across the province. 234 cases are in unvaccinated individuals and 32 in partially vaccinated individuals. It is the sixth straight day with over 300 daily cases.

Chatham-Kent Public Health is hosting a walk in clinic at Ecole Secondaire de Pain Court today from 10-4.

Anyone 12 and older are welcome at the clinic.

The New York Yankees will play the Chicago White Sox in an Iowa cornfield tonight, adjacent from 1989’s Field of Dreams.

MLB spent more than $5 million to construct and maintain the temporary ballpark, for which plans began last year, only for COVID-19 to cause a one-year postponement.

Fans will enter the premises from the original field, which is now a tourist site since the movie’s release and success, and walk through the corn to the game. The corn stalks, planted by MLB, will be as tall as 12 feet, and will be able to be seen through the mesh of the right field wall.

The first pitch is just after 7 tonight.
