Ontario is reporting fewer than 1,000 hospitalizations of people with COVID-19 for a third day in a row, as the province lifts all remaining capacity limits in indoor settings and scraps its vaccine certificate system Tuesday.
The province reported 914 people in hospital with the virus, slightly up from 849 the day before but down from 1,038 at the same time last week.
According to the Ministry of Health, about 45 per cent of those admitted to hospital were seeking treatment for COVID-19 symptoms, while 55 per cent were admitted for other reasons but have since tested positive for the virus.
Of the hospitalizations reported, there are 278 ICU patients, which is down from 279 the day before and 319 one week ago.
About 80 per cent were admitted to intensive care specifically for the virus, while the rest were admitted for other reasons and tested positive.
