Ontario Reports another 480 COVID-19 Cases and Two More Deaths, according to your latest report released Monday morning.
Ontario has administered 17,057 vaccine dose since its last daily update, with 22,623,960 vaccinations administered in total at 8 pm the night before.
According to Star’s vaccine tracker, 11,534,328 people in Ontario have received at least one injection. That is roughly 88.5 percent of the eligible population 12 and older, and the equivalent of 77.6 percent of the total population, including those who are not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The province says 11,089,632 people have completed their vaccinations, meaning they have received both doses. That’s roughly 85.1 percent of the eligible population 12 and older, and the equivalent of 74.6 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 new 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 244 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in unvaccinated people, 13 were partially vaccinated, and 191 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 also includes data on COVID-19 in schools as part of its daily reports.
There are 474 schools with a reported COVID case out of 4,844 schools in the province, or 9.79 percent.
There are 85 new cases reported Monday for a total of 5,068 school-related COVID cases reported in Ontario.
The province says three schools have closed due to outbreaks or operational considerations. It does not include regional closures in a local public health unit area.

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.
There are no new cases of the Delta variant detected for the first time in India, for a cumulative total of 21,709 cases.
