Ontario reports 321 new COVID-19 cases, two deaths
Ontario has updated its COVID-19 data website in hopes people will focus less on daily case counts and more on hospitalizations and ICU admissions.
The changes include new metrics, comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated cases and hospital admissions.
On Tuesday, the province reported 321 new COVID-19 cases and two new deaths.
There are currently 109 patients in intensive care with COVID-related critical illness and 72 on ventilators.
The province says 48,278 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine were administered Monday for a total of more than 19.9 million.
Of the province’s 626 long-term care homes, at least three are in an outbreak including The Village of Tansley Woods in Burlington. After more than three weeks, an outbreak Arbour Creek Long-Term Care Centre in Hamilton was declared over by the City of Hamilton on Monday.
An active COVID-19 outbreak indicates that the home has at least one lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 (in resident or staff) and the local public health unit or the home has declared an outbreak.
