Ontario Records Highest Daily COVID-19 Case Count in Nearly Six Months

Ontario Reports Another 964 COVID-19 Cases and One More Death, according to your latest report released Sunday morning.

Ontario has administered 33,249 vaccine dose since its last daily update, with 22,928,466 vaccinations administered in total at 8 pm the night before.

According to Star’s vaccine tracker, 11,677,477 people in Ontario have received at least one injection. That equates to about 89.6% of the eligible population ages 12 and older, and the equivalent of 78.6% of the total population, including those who are not yet eligible for the vaccine.

The province says 11,250,989 people have completed their vaccinations, meaning they have received both doses. That’s roughly 86.3 percent of the eligible population 12 and older, and the equivalent of 75.7 percent of the total population, including those who are not yet eligible for the vaccine.

The province now includes data reflecting hospitalizations and cases by vaccination status. Ontario cautions that the process may cause discrepancies between other hospitalization numbers that are collected through a different process, and that the data may not match daily COVID-19 case counts.

The province reports that 498 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in unvaccinated people, 21 were partially vaccinated, and 396 cases were fully vaccinated. Again, the province cautions that the data may not match daily COVID case counts because records with a missing or invalid health card number cannot be linked.

The province says data on hospitalizations by vaccination status will not be updated on Sundays and Mondays due to incomplete weekend reports.

The province says 29,692 tests were completed the day before and a positivity rate of 3.2 percent.

There are currently 122 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in the province, including 118 intensive care patients who have tested positive for COVID-19. There are 85 people with fans.

Locally, there are 129 cases in Toronto, 58 in the Peel region, 60 in the York region, 86 in Windsor-Essex, and 81 in Simcoe County.

Ontario reports that there are no new long-term care homes in the outbreak, for a total of four or 0.6 percent of LTC homes in the province.

Meanwhile, the province reports that there are no new deaths in long-term care, so the number of residents who have died remains the same at 3,824, in the latest report released by the province.

These data are self-reported by long-term care homes to the Ministry of Long-Term Care. The daily case and death figures may not immediately match the figures published by local public health units due to delays in reporting time.
