In data provided to CBC News by the Department of Health, 448 people had been admitted to hospital because of the virus between March 14, 2020 and April 14, 2022.

The Omicron variant plays a major factor in that number. Since Omicron's onset in December up to April 14, 350 people had been admitted to hospital.
