Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Ontario is reporting 164 cases today, the lowest daily increase since last July 18 when 164 cases were also reported. Of Ontario’s 34 health units, 5 are reporting double-digit increases, including Toronto (32), Peel (26), Waterloo (25), York (13), and Grey Bruce (10). The seven-day average of daily cases has decreased by 7 to 203.
Hospitalizations have increased by 47 from yesterday to 202, but some of this increase may be a result of underreporting yesterday when more than 10% of hospitals did not submit data for the daily bed census. The number of ICU patients has decreased by 2 to 226 and the number of patients on ventilators has increased by 4 to 161.
Ontario is reporting 9 new deaths, including 2 in long-term care homes.
Almost 16 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 215,719 from yesterday, with over 88% of Ontario’s total population now having received at least one dose. Over 5.8 million people have been fully vaccinated, an increase of 196,164 from yesterday, representing almost 40% of the total population.
