Ontario Case Update
Ontario is reporting 745 cases of COVID-19 today.
There are 334 new cases in Peel, 124 in York Region and 65 in Niagara.
The Ontario numbers on first look appear to be a really hopeful sign. However the Ministry of Health reports that what they are calling “an underestimation” of Toronto Public Health’s case count as a result of data migration has impacted the numbers.
No new cases of the virus were reported for Toronto.
A statement from the Ministry of Health in Ontario says, “Most notably, Toronto Public Health’s case count is negative following the identification of duplicate cases as well as data corrections to some fields (e.g., long-term care home residents and health care workers), resulting in an underestimation of today’s cases”
