No report from Waterloo Region on a Sunday.
Ontario reported 192 new cases, plus 223 that had been diagnosed earlier but missed in reporting. That's the first sub-200-case day since I started tracking these in late March! (I don't care so much about the 223 as we have no idea what dates those go back to.) 305 recoveries and 19 deaths translate to an decrease of 132 active cases for the day (now 3,939 -- higher than yesterday due to the reported old cases) and a weekly total of -135. 19,374 tests for the day (good for a weekend day) for a 1.0% positivity rate. The new cases are 1.4% of the total but 4.9% of the number of active cases. New cases averaging 9.1% of actives over the past seven days.
The hospital population dropped again, to 635 (-38) while the ICU population held steady at 117 (+0).
Sub-200 is indeed much better, as is the 1.0% positivity rate, but do I have confidence that something has really changed and that this is the start of trend? Not yet, at least.
