Waterloo Region reported 61 new cases today (11.0% of the active cases), far less than yesterday's spike. Was yesterday's number an aberration, maybe some delayed reporting, or is today the outlier? Stay tuned to find out! 509 new cases for the week (-28), averaging 12.6% of active cases. 523 active cases, -113 in the last seven days.
Next testing report on Friday (or possibly later).
Ontario reported 3,328 new cases today -- do I really need to mention that it's a record? -- with a seven-day average of 2,436 (+126). 2,213 recoveries and 56 (!) deaths translated to an increase of 1,059 active cases and a current total of 21,617. +1,801 active cases for the week and 252 deaths (36 per day). 63,858 tests -- back to normal levels after the holiday weekend -- for a positivity rate of 5.21%. The positivity rate is averaging 5.38% for the past seven days, compared to 3.86% for the preceding seven. Ouch.
Further in the list of bad news, 337 patients in ICU (+14) and a total of 1,235 hospital beds (+268 for the week).
