Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Ontario is reporting 287 new cases today, with the seven-day average of daily cases decreasing by 5 to 275. Most of today’s cases are in Waterloo (66), Toronto (42), Grey Bruce (38), Peel (26), and Porcupine (16).
Hospitalizations have decreased by 70 to 203, but more than 10% of hospitals did not submit data for the daily bed census for this report so the actual number of hospitalizations may be higher. The number of patients in ICUs has increased by 3 to 289 and the number of patients on ventilators has increased by 8 to 191. Ontario is reporting 12 new deaths, with none in long-term care homes.
Over 14 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 202,672 from yesterday, with over 81% of Ontario’s total population now having received at least one dose. More than 4.1 million people have been fully vaccinated, with 175,516 people receiving their second dose yesterday, representing over 28% of the total population.
