Ontario is reporting 890 people in hospital with COVID on Tuesday, with 157 in intensive care. On Victoria Day Monday, there were 879 people reported to be in hospital with COVID, with 152 in ICUs.
Due to the holiday weekend, figures were not available on Victoria Day Monday so two sets of data were released on Tuesday for both days.
Last Tuesday, there were 1,345 hospitalizations with 165 in ICU, showing a decline week-over-week.
According to latest data for hospitalizations, 58 per cent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for COVID-19. For those in ICUs, 31 per cent were admitted for other reasons.
Meanwhile, Ontario also reported 619 new lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases on Tuesday and 668 on Monday, though that is an underestimate of the true widespread transmission of the virus due to PCR testing eligibility. The provincial case total now stands at 1,296,786.
The death toll in the province has risen to 13,164 as one new virus-related death was added on Tuesday and two deaths on Monday...
