Ontario reports another 666 COVID-19 cases and seven more deaths, according to its latest report released Sunday morning.
Ontario has administered 6,988 vaccine dose since its last daily update, with 13,066 vaccinations administered in total at 8 pm the night before.
According to Star’s vaccine tracker, 11,565,488 people in Ontario have received at least one injection. That’s roughly 88.7 percent of the eligible population ages 12 and older, and the equivalent of 85.5 percent of the total population, including those who are not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The province says 11,147,412 people have completed their vaccinations, meaning they have received both doses. That works out to roughly 85.5 percent of the eligible population ages 12 and older, and the equivalent of 75 percent of the total population, including those who are not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The province now includes data that reflects 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 300 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in unvaccinated people, 24 were partially vaccinated, and 300 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 24,853 tests were completed the day before.
There are currently 126 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in the province, including 133 patients in intensive care due to a critical illness related to COVID. There are 78 people with fans.
Locally, there are 76 cases in Toronto, 42 in the Peel region, and 41 in the York region.
Ontario reports that there is one fewer long-term care home in the outbreak, for a total of one or 0.2 percent of LTC households 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 published 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.
