Waterloo Region reported 73 new cases -- a new all-time record -- for today (18.7% of the active cases). 371 new cases for the week (+41), averaging 14.9% of active cases. 405 active cases (+40 in the last seven days).
Next testing report on Friday.
Ontario reported 1,373 new cases today with a seven-day average of 1,389 (-6). 1,373 recoveries and 35 (!) deaths translated to a decrease of 138 active cases, and a current total of 12,779. -43 active cases for the week and 139 deaths. 36,076 tests resulted in a 3.81% positivity rate. The positivity rate is averaging 3.47% for the past seven days, as compared to 3.90% for the preceding seven.
ICU bed count is steady at to 159 (+0) and the overall hospital population dropped to 523 (-12 in the past week).
The provincial numbers are somewhat encouraging at this point: the new cases are averaging around 1,400/day now and no longer shooting up, at least for now. The number of active cases is either stable or slightly dropping, and the number of new cases as a percentage of actives has dropped down close to 10%. Not out of the woods by any means but it is far better than it was early this month.
Waterloo Region, though -- what the heck is going on here that things are getting so out of control?
