Officials in Ontario say there have been 16 more deaths related to COVID-19 reported in the past 24 hours
Ontario health officials report there are currently 613 people in hospital with COVID-19, including 185 patients in intensive care.
The province released the latest numbers on Saturday. They mark a small decrease over the 615 hospitalizations and 193 ICU total from the day before. Officials also reported 16 more deaths due to COVID-19. Since the start of the pandemic, 12,329 have lost their lives due to the disease. The province reported 2,078 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday, but health officials have warned that number is an underestimate due to testing limitations and backlogs.
With 12,180 tests processed in the past 24 hours, the Ministry of Health says the province's positivity rate is about 13.3 per cent. The numbers used in this story are found in the Ontario Ministry of Health's COVID-19 Daily Epidemiologic Summary. The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from what is reported by the province, because local units report figures at different times.
