Waterloo Region reported 71 (!) new cases for today (19.5% of the active cases) and none more for yesterday for a total of 65; 345 new cases for the week (+21), averaging 14.5% of active cases. 408 active cases -- back over 400 now -- and +62 in the last seven days.
An average of 1,623 tests per day for a positivity rate of 3.04%, substantially higher than the provincial average.
Ontario reported 1,258 new cases today with a seven-day average of 1,114 (+15). 1,007 recoveries and 28 deaths translated to an increase of 223 active cases and a new total of 10,294. -256 active cases for the week and 124 deaths (18 per day). 64,049 tests for a positivity rate of 1.96%. The positivity rate is averaging 2.45% for the past seven days, compared to 2.41% for the preceding seven.
In the past week there have been 92 cases (-7) of B.1.1.7 (UK), five cases (+4) of B.1.351 (SA) and one case (+0) of P.1 (BR) variant. The variant data looks very bursty so I suspect they are not being analyzed on a daily basis.
284 patients in ICU (+1 today, +15 for the week). Total hospital population of 684 (-6 for the week). Hospitalization numbers are no longer dropping, and I expect to see them start creeping up soon.
Only regions with at least two cases per 100,000 population
