Waterloo Region reported only four new cases yesterday, the least in a long time and balancing out the 22 cases from the day before. This is a 0.4% increase on the total and 1.6% of active cases. There are now only 253 active cases (-53) in the region, given 673 recoveries and 111 deaths.
Ontario new-case count up 427 today, the biggest number of new cases in the last 12 days in spite of limited testing on the long weekend. It's a 1.9% increase on the total and 12.0% of active cases. 260 recovered and 15 dead for a net increase of 152 active cases. There are now 3,567 active cases, given 17,898 recoveries and 1,919 deaths.
559,794 tests to date with only 5,813 for the day, the lowest since mid-April. Given the small number of tests, a whopping 7.3% of the daily tests were positive. 87 cases currently hospitalized (+15) and 167 in the ICU (-7). The ICU numbers continue to be good, and this is the lowest level since the beginning of April -- but ICU patients are a lagging indicator. Hopefully the high number of new cases is just a one-day aberration.
Quebec reported only 570 new cases for a total of 44,197 to date. This was from 5,937 tests, though, for a 9.6% positivity rate. ICU occupancy stable at 180 (+1).
