Ontario reports 3,700+ new COVID-19 cases; P.1 variant cases have doubled in a week
Ontario reported 3,732 new COVID-19 cases and 23 additional deaths on Sunday, as the province’s active caseload continued its slow, trickling decline and the burden on hospital ICUs stayed flat.
The vast majority of new cases detected are screening positive as the B.1.1.7 variant first discovered in the United Kingdom last year, but the number of cases found to be the P.1 variant from Brazil has more than doubled in the past week.
On April 26, 351 examples of the P.1 variant had been detected in the province. By Sunday, that number had grown to 875.
