Ontario's COVD-19 hospitalizations at 1,213, no deaths reported
The number of patients with COVID-19 in an Ontario hospital is at 1,213 as no additional deaths due to the disease were reported in the last 24 hours.
Monday’s data shows a slight increase in hospitalizations over Sunday’s total of 1,167. Meanwhile, ICU admissions dropped by six to 201.
Information related to incidental hospitalizations and patient vaccination status was not released. It should be noted that not all hospitals report data over the weekend.
No additional deaths due to COVID-19 were reported since yesterday, leaving the province’s death toll unchanged at 12,972.
Testing for COVID-19 in Ontario remains limited to select high-risk groups. Of the 7,702 tests that were performed, 1,206 cases of the novel coronavirus were confirmed.
The positivity rate in the province is currently 12 per cent, according to the Ministry of Health.
Ontario has seen 1,276,116 lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 throughout the pandemic, including 1,276,116 recoveries.
Background
The numbers used in this story are found in the Ontario Ministry of Health's COVID-19 Daily Epidemiologic Summary. The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from what is reported by the province, because local units report figures at different times. Health experts have said the number of COVID-19 infections identified in fully vaccinated individuals will naturally increase as more people get both of their shots.
