Ontario is reporting 2,467 people with COVID in hospitals as the province continues to deal with the Omicron wave impacting hospitals and ICU.

The province also reported 9,706 new COVID cases on Monday. The provincial case total now stands at 888,297.

Over the last three days, there were 11,959 new infections on Sunday, 13,362 reported on Saturday, and 11,899 new cases on Tuesday.

However, due to recent testing eligibility changes the province warns the counts are an underestimate of the true spread of the virus in the community.

Of the 9,706 new cases recorded, the data showed 1,307 were unvaccinated people, 263 were partially vaccinated people, 7,789 were fully vaccinated people and for 347 people the vaccination status was unknown.

For the regional breakdown, 1,879 cases were recorded in Toronto, 1,310 in Peel Region, 1,033 in York Region, 680 in Durham, and 565 in Ottawa. All other local public health units reported fewer than 500 new cases in the provincial report.
