Ontario health officials are reporting another record-breaking number of new COVID-19 cases as more than 18,000 infections are logged on Saturday.
Public Health Ontario, which released the data, confirmed 18,445 new cases of the novel coronavirus today, surpassing the previous record of 16,713 new COVID-19 infections reported on Friday.
Ontario's rolling seven-day average has soared to 12,495, up from 5,939 at this point last week.
The province noted on Saturday’s epidemiological report that due to changes in availability of testing, case counts are an underestimate of the true number of cases in Ontario.
Officials warned the data should be “interpreted with caution.”
