Waterloo Region reported four new cases today (0.3% of the total and 12.5% of the active cases). New cases are now averaging 7.6% of active cases over the past seven days. 17 new cases over that week.
Ontario reported 185 new cases today with a seven-day average of 159, shooting up over the 150 mark for the first time since July. 119 recoveries and no deaths translated to an increase of 66 active cases and a current total of 1,527, another barrier broken through. A weekly total change of +287 active cases. 20,929 tests for a 0.88% positivity rate, the highest since June. The positivity rate is averaging 0.63% for the past seven days.
The new cases are 0.4% of the total and 12.1% of the number of active cases. New cases averaging 11.7% of actives over the past seven days.
ICU patient count is at 17 (+3).
The top four regions account for 146 of the total 185 new cases.
Overall, we are very much trending in the wrong direction. New case counts are double that of August and there are nearly twice as many active cases. Positivity rate is approaching 1% indicating that there are likely more cases out there. Hospital numbers are trending up.
On the positive side, the local numbers are still stable with the active cases hovering around the 30 mark. However, the four trouble spots are not showing any indication of getting things under control (which Windsor and Sarnia were able to do), and their totals are still trending up.
