The province reported 1,783 new cases of COVID-19 and 18 deaths.
Since the start of the pandemic, there have been 1,021,106 confirmed cases, and 14,714 people have died.
The province also reported 10,636 health-care workers absent for COVID-related reasons.
91 per cent of the eligible population in the province (aged five and up) have received one dose of the vaccine; 87 per cent have received two doses, and 54 per cent have received three doses.
