Ontario COVID numbers: 1,369 people in hospital, 394 in intensive care – GLOBAL

February 14, 2022

Ontario is reporting 1,369 people in hospital with COVID on Monday with 394 in intensive care units as numbers continue to trend downward.

This is down by 171 hospitalizations and a decrease of 8 for ICUs since the previous day, though officials noted not all hospitals reported updated figures due to the weekend.

Last Monday, there were 2,155 hospitalizations with 486 in ICU.

The province recently began distinguishing between those who were admitted to hospital directly because of COVID, and those who were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for the virus.

Those figures aren’t updated on Mondays due to incomplete data reporting from hospitals over the weekend.

However, figures from last week show roughly 46 per cent of those hospitalized with COVID were admitted for other reasons. Of those in intensive care with the virus, roughly 20 per cent were admitted for other reasons.
