Ontario reports fewer than 150 new COVID-19 cases, no new deaths
Ontario is reporting 130 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday, with no additional deaths.
The province reported 177 new cases on Sunday and 176 on Saturday.
The seven-day rolling average now stands at 155, compared to 173 a week ago.
Monday marks the eleventh straight day that Ontario’s new COVID-19 cases have remained below 200.
Provincial labs processed more than 11,567 test specimens, generating a positivity rate of at least 1.0 per cent, according to the Ministry of Health.
The province’s virus-related death toll stands at 9,294.
Another 153 people recovered from the disease yesterday, resulting in 1,355 active cases across the province.
Right now, there are 115 people in hospital with COVID-19 and 151 patients being treated in intensive care, according to the Ministry of Health. Of those 150 patients, 107 are breathing with the assistance of a ventilator.
The hospitalization data presented by the province has been skewed over the past several weeks, which may be explained by a delay in patient reporting.
