Ontario is reporting another 511 COVID-19 cases and 0 deaths, according to its latest report released Sunday morning.
Ontario has administered 40,907 vaccine doses since its last daily update, with 20,187,843 vaccines given in total as of 8 p.m. the previous night.
According to the Star’s vaccine tracker, 10,614,831 people in Ontario have received at least one shot. That works out to approximately 81.5 per cent of the eligible population 12 years and older, and the equivalent of 71.5 per cent of the total population, including those not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The province says 9,563,420 people have completed their vaccinations, which means they’ve had both doses. That works out to approximately 73.4 per cent of the eligible population 12 years and older, and the equivalent of 64.3 per cent of the total population, including those not yet eligible for the vaccine.
The province is now including new data 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. Again, the province warns the data may not match daily COVID case counts because records with a missing or invalid health card number can’t be linked.
The province says 19,192 tests were completed the previous day, and a 2.6 per cent positivity rate.
There are 98 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 in the province, including 116 patients in intensive care testing positive for COVID-19. There are 71 people on ventilators.
Locally, 158 cases are in Toronto, 50 in Peel Region, 45 in York Region.
Ontario is reporting one less long-term-care home in outbreak, for a total of two or 0.3 per cent of LTC homes in the province.
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.
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.
There are 145,688 confirmed cases in Ontario of the Alpha variant first detected in the United Kingdom, an increase of 22 from the previous day.
