Below are the numbers for Ontario, including roughly 745 new cases province-wide, which is likely an underestimated count due to an issue with Toronto’s system. There have been 270,925 total cases in Ontario.
| Severity | Number | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Number of cases footnote 1 | 270,925 | N/A |
| Change from previous report (new cases) | 745Toronto Public Health has now migrated all of their data to the provincial data system, CCM. This migration has impacted today’s daily counts. Most notably, TPH’s case count is negative following the identification of duplicate cases as well as data corrections to some fields (e.g., long-term care home residents and health care workers), resulting in an underestimation of today’s cases. In addition, case counts for other PHUs may have been affected by system outages related to the migration. As a result, we anticipate fluctuations in case numbers over the next few days. | 0.3% increase |
