Waterloo Region reported 11 new cases, four of them in "outbreaks". The number of LTC facilities with active cases is now down to five, but we appear to be suffering from outbreaks in either workplace or religious settings (insufficient data to know which). Today's case increase is 1.0% of the total cases to date and 10.0% (!) of the current active caseload. Only 110 cases now active in the region, down 55 (delayed reporting?), and down 77 in the past seven days. New cases averaging 5.2% of actives over the past seven days. While the decrease in active cases is great, 10% of those in new cases definitely is not.
Only 237 people tested in the region, with a 4.6% positivity rate.
Ontario reported 344 new cases. 375 recoveries and 15 deaths translate to an decrease of 46 active cases for the day and a weekly total of -205. 22,730 tests for the day (another new record!) for a 1.5% positivity rate. The new cases are 1.2% of the total but 9.1% of the number of active cases. New cases averaging 9.4% of actives over the past seven days.
The hospital population dropped below 750, to 749 (-27) and the ICU population inched down as well, to 118 (-3).
