Ontario COVID update: 1,091 people in hospital, 173 in intensive care
That marks an increase of 234 hospitalizations and five people in intensive care since Monday’s report.
However, not all hospitals report updated figures on weekends, meaning the reported numbers on Monday were likely an undercount. Tuesday’s report marks the highest number of people in hospital with COVID-19 in Ontario since February, though the number of people in ICUs at that time with the virus was much higher.Last Tuesday, there were 790 people reported to be in hospital with COVID-19, with 165 in intensive care.According to the latest provincial data, around 54.1 per cent of people in hospital with COVID were admitted for another reason but tested positive for the virus, while about 45.
Of those in intensive care, around 33.3 per cent were admitted for other reasons, while about 66.7 per cent were admitted because of the virus. Nine new COVID-19-related deaths were also reported Tuesday; six occurred within the past month and three occurred more than a month ago and were added as part of a data cleaning process.AMA Travel: Tips as COVID-19 testing requirements change
