Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Today, Ontario is reporting 114 new COVID-19 cases, with only 3 of Ontario’s 34 health units reporting double-digit increases — Grey Bruce (18), Waterloo (15), and Toronto (10) — and 13 health units reporting no new cases at all. The seven-day average of daily cases has decreased by 8 to 173.
Hospitalizations have increased by 12 from yesterday to 141, 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 2 to 204 and the number of patients on ventilators has fallen by 9 to 123.
Ontario is reporting no new COVID-related deaths today.
More than 17.1 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 121,653 from yesterday, with over 92% of Ontario’s total population now having received at least one dose. Almost 7 million people have been fully vaccinated, an increase of 110,327 from yesterday, representing over 47% of Ontario’s total population.
