Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Today, Ontario is reporting 146 new COVID-19 cases, with 5 of Ontario’s 34 health units reporting double-digit increases — Toronto (43), Waterloo (36), Peel (13), Hamilton (11), and Middlesex-London (10) — and 17 health units reporting no new cases at all. The seven-day average of daily cases has decreased by 3 to 170.
Hospitalizations have increased by 32 from yesterday to 173, but part of this increase may be due to underreporting on the weekend as 10% of hospitals did not submit data for the daily bed census. The number of ICU patients has fallen by 12 to 192 and the number of patients on ventilators remains unchanged from yesterday at 123.
Ontario is reporting 7 new COVID-related deaths today, including 2 in long-term care homes.
Almost 17.3 million vaccine doses have been administered, an increase of 176,834 from yesterday, with almost 93% of Ontario’s total population now having received at least one dose. More than 7.1 million people have been fully vaccinated, an increase of 157,734 from yesterday, representing over 48% of Ontario’s total population.
