Ontario reports 807 new COVID-19 cases as vaccination bookings rise
Unvaccinated individuals remain bulk of cases, hospitalizations
CBC News · Posted: Sep 03, 2021 11:17 AM ET | Last Updated: 6 minutes ago

Ontario reported 807 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday, while the province says that vaccination bookings have increased since Ontario announced its vaccine certificate program.

Of the 746 cases today with a known vaccination status:

499, or 66.9 per cent, were in unvaccinated people.
68, or 9.1 per cent, had a single dose.
179, or 24 per cent, had two doses.

The province's raw data on the vaccination status of cases does not include breakdowns by age. That, and the fact that the populations of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in Ontario differ greatly by both size and demographics, are important caveats to note when examining cases by vaccination status...

...Last Friday, Ontario recorded 781 further infections from roughly the same number of tests. According to the province's COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, the doubling time for cases has extended to 32 days, up from just eight days in early August.
