Health officials in Ontario say 1,626 people are in hospital with COVID-19 as another 17 deaths due to the disease were reported in the last 24 hours.
Fifty-five per cent of the patients currently receiving care were not admitted due to COVID-19, but have since tested positive. Forty-five per cent were admitted because of COVID-19.
Of those patients, 83 patients are fully vaccinated, 32 are unvaccinated, and four are partially vaccinated. No other vaccination information was released by the government Thursday. Moreover, 62 per cent were admitted to intensive care due to their COVID-19 diagnosis, while 38 per cent were admitted for a different reason but are now testing positive.
An additional 5,038 positive cases were also identified in the last 24-hour period, though the Ministry of Health explained that number is higher than usual due to a “data clean up.”
