Ontario health officials are reporting a total of 1,106 people in hospital with COVID-19, including 319 people in the province’s intensive care units.
The number of people in hospital with the disease increased on Wednesday from 1,038 on Tuesday to 1,106 today. The lower number on Tuesday may have been due to some hospitals not reporting their data over the Family Day long weekend.
The number of people in intensive care has been steadily decreasing for weeks, but on Wednesday the number remained at 319, the same as the day before.
The province reported that 49 per cent of the 1,106 people in hospital are primarily there due to COVID-19, while the remaining 51 per cent were admitted for other reasons but have now tested positive for the virus.
Officials said about 77.5 per cent of patients are in ICU primarily due to COVID-19, while 22.5 per cent of cases are there primarily for other reasons, but also have the virus.
