There were 30 people with COVID-19 in Waterloo region's three hospitals, Monday's update from public health showed.
There were 14 people in the intensive care unit. The region noted people in the ICU may no longer be infectious with the virus, but do require ongoing care from it.
There was one death reported on Monday, a man in his 80s. It brought the total number of deaths of people with COVID-19 in the region to 396.
