Ontario is reporting another 321 COVID-19 cases and two more deaths, according to its latest report released Tuesday morning.
The province released a new data collection Tuesday that reflects hospitalizations and cases by vaccination status. Ontario is warning that the new process may cause discrepancies between other hospitalization numbers being collected using a different process, and that the data may not match daily COVID-19 case counts.
The province’s new data reports 267 COVID-19 cases were confirmed in unvaccinated people, 54 were partially vaccinated, and 78 cases in fully vaccinated people.
Ontario has administered 48,278 vaccine doses since its last daily update, with 19,950,437 vaccines given in total as of 8 p.m. the previous night.
According to the Star’s vaccine tracker, 10,569,315 people in Ontario have received at least one shot. That works out to approximately 81.1 per cent of the eligible population 12 years and older, and the equivalent of 71.7 per cent of the total population, including those not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The province says 9,381,122 people have completed their vaccinations, which means they’ve had both doses. That works out to approximately 72 per cent of the eligible population 12 years and older, and the equivalent of 63.7 per cent of the total population, including those not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The seven-day average is at 306 cases daily, or 14.7 weekly per 100,000. Ontario’s seven-day average for deaths is at 8.6 daily.
The province says 16,479 tests were completed the previous day, and a 1.7 per cent positivity rate.
There are 100 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 in the province, including 109 patients in intensive care. There are 72 people on ventilators. The ICU and ventilator numbers include those who currently test positive for COVID-19 as well as those who no longer test positive.
Meanwhile, the province is reporting that there are no new deaths in long-term-care so the number of residents who have died stays the same at 3,793, in the latest report released by the province.
Ontario is reporting one less long-term-care home in outbreak, for a total of three or 0.5 per cent of LTC homes in the province.
This data is self-reported by the long-term-care homes to the Ministry of Long-Term Care. Daily case and death figures may not immediately match the numbers posted by the local public health units due to lags in reporting time.
