Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Today, Ontario is reporting 166 new COVID-19 cases — the lowest increase since last July 17 when 166 cases were also reported.
Of Ontario’s 34 health units, only 4 are reporting double-digit increases — Toronto (28), Waterloo (28), Peel (18), and Grey Bruce (18) — with 12 health units reporting no new cases at all. The seven-day average of daily cases has decreased by 7 to 181.
Hospitalizations have fallen by 35 from yesterday to 130, but 10% of hospitals did not submit data for the daily bed census so the actual number of hospitalizations may be higher. The number of ICU patients has increased by 5 to 202 and the number of patients on ventilators has decreased by 2 to 132.
Ontario is reporting 6 new COVID-related deaths, with none in long-term care homes.
Almost 17 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 170,537 from yesterday, with almost 92% of Ontario’s total population now having received at least one dose. Almost 6.9 million people have been fully vaccinated, an increase of 153,322 from yesterday, representing over 46% of Ontario’s total population.
