Ontario reports 11,352 new COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations increase

Ontario health officials are reporting 11,352 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday, as hospitalizations increase for the second straight day.

Tuesday’s case count comes after the province reported 13,578 new cases on Monday, 16,714 new cases on Sunday and a record-high 18,445 new cases on Saturday.

Ontario's rolling seven-day average soared to 14,435, up from 8,318 at this point last week.

Public Health Ontario has warned that case counts are an underestimate of the true number of infections in Ontario due to the issues with the availability of testing resources in the province.

According to health officials, 10 more deaths related to COVID-19 were reported in the last 24 hours.
