Ontario is reporting 693 people in hospital with COVID on Monday with 249 in intensive care units.
This is up by 9 hospitalizations and an increase of two for ICUs since the previous day, though officials noted not all hospitals reported updated figures due to the weekend.
Last Monday, there were 849 hospitalizations with 279 in ICU...
...However, latest figures from last week show roughly 47 per cent of those hospitalized with COVID were admitted for other reasons. Of those in intensive care with the virus, roughly 20 per cent were admitted for other reasons.
Meanwhile, Ontario also reported 1,074 new lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases on Monday, though that is an underestimate of the true widespread transmission of the virus due to testing restrictions. The provincial case total now stands at 1,114,284.
Of the 1,074 new cases recorded, the data showed 146 were unvaccinated people, 38 were partially vaccinated people, 827 were fully vaccinated people. For 63 people the vaccination status was unknown.
The death toll in the province has risen to 12,574 as four more virus-related deaths were added...
