“I believe our numbers are leveling off and our trends are getting better in terms of people being discharged from the hospital, the number of deaths have dropped and stayed down, and new infections overall I believe are trending down,” da Silva added.
"So these are all really good signs but I think day to day, people are finding it pretty difficult," she said.
