Ontario is reporting the highest number of COVID-19 hospitalizations in nearly two months and five net new virus-related deaths on Tuesday.
There are currently 1,366 patients with the virus in hospitals across the province, up from 1,091 a week ago, according to the Ministry of Health. Today marks the highest number of hospitalizations since Feb. 16 when 1,403 people were receiving care.
Another five deaths that occurred in the past month were added to the province’s COVID-19 death toll today. The ministry confirmed 2,300 more cases today, but health officials say this continues to be an underestimate due to limited testing. To date, 90 per cent of Ontarians aged five years and older have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, 86 per cent have received two doses and 51 per cent have received three doses.
