Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Although the province’s case count has increased by 299 today, Ontario is reporting 209 actual new cases (around 90 cases from 2020 were added to Toronto’s case count today due to a data clean-up). Based on 209 new cases, the seven-day average of daily cases has decreased by 13 to 254.
Most of today’s cases are in Waterloo (69), Toronto (40, when excluding the 90 cases from 2020), Peel (20), Grey Bruce (11), Durham (10), and Niagara (10).
Hospitalizations have increased by 39 to 257, but some of this increase may be a result of than 10% of hospitals not submitting data for the daily bed census yesterday.
The number of patients in ICUs has fallen by 11 to 276 and the number of patients on ventilators has decreased by 6 to 185. Ontario is reporting 25 new deaths, including 3 in long-term care homes.
