Ontario records spike in COVID-19 cases with nearly 1,200 new infections

COVID-19 cases in Ontario have hit their highest level since May with nearly 1,200 new infections reported on Sunday.

Health officials recorded 1,184 new COVID-19 cases in Ontario on Sunday, which is the highest number in a single day since May 28 when 1,273 infections were added.

Ontario did not report any new COVID-19-related deaths in the past 24-hour period. 

The province's rolling seven-day average of COVID-19 cases now stands at 926, up from 760 at this point last week.

Health officials have warned for weeks that cases would increase in the winter months as more people gather indoors.
