Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Ontario is reporting 209 cases today, with most of the cases in Waterloo (47), Halton (22), Niagara (20), Toronto (20), and Grey Bruce (20). The seven-day average of daily cases has decreased by 20 to 226.
Hospitalizations have increased by 27 from yesterday to 206, but part of this increase may be because of underreporting yesterday, as more than 10% of hospitals did not submit data for the daily bed census on Canada Day.
The number of ICU patients has decreased by 9 to 243 and the number of patients on ventilators has increased by 5 to 165. Ontario is reporting 9 new deaths, with none in long-term care homes.
Almost 15.4 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 210,504 from yesterday, with over 86% of Ontario’s total population now having received at least one dose. Almost 5.4 million people have been fully vaccinated, an increase of 191,567 from yesterday, representing over 36% of the total population.
