The COVID-19 pandemic

401 new cases in Ontario today for a 17% increase.

GTAA accounts for 54% of the total cases to date. 320 cases hospitalized to date (not necessarily any more as of today) and 101 have been to ICU.

Quebec reported 907 new cases, almost 20%. Back to the earlier trendline.

462 new cases in Ontario today for a 16% increase. 66,753 tests done to date, and the testing backlog is now down to 1245.

462 cases hospitalized to date (coincidence?) and 192 have been to ICU. Numbers are much higher than yesterday (which was the first day for this data) so it's possible that yesterday's data was incomplete.

Quebec reported 583 new cases, down to an impressive 8%, at least for one day.

I wouldn’t read too much into a one day drop.  Give it at least three or for days to see if there’s a trend.
