Ontario’s COVID-19 death toll reaches new milestone but hospitalizations and ICU admissions continue to decline
Ontario’s death toll from COVID-19 has reached a new milestone, even as hospitalizations and case counts continue to decrease.
The Ministry of Health reported another 52 deaths on Friday, as the total number of fatalities related to the virus surpassed 12,000 for the first time. Two of those deaths occurred more than a month ago and were added to the total as a result of a data cleanup.
435 people are in ICU with #COVID19. 80% of patients admitted to the ICU were admitted for COVID-19 and 20% were admitted for other reasons but have tested positive for COVID-19.
There are 2,907 new cases of COVID-19.
