There are now 5,675 active cases given 7,509 recoveries and 811 deaths. 2455 confirmed positives to date among LTC facility residents, so 160 of today's 476 new cases are LTC residents.
217,618 people tested to date, just under 11,000 tests for the day. 925 cases currently hospitalized (+15) and 245 in the ICU (+2). ICU as a percentage has dropped from 38% three weeks ago to 26% now, pretty consistently each day. I think it's safe to say that the severe cases are still as severe, so most likely the hospitals are now accepting some more mild cases than before, increasing the overall hospital population while the ICU stays stable.
Quebec data later today.
What's Ontario's track record on weekend reporting? Have they been accurate, or do the results tend to be understated on the weekends?
