This is down by 35 for hospitalizations but an increase of seven for ICUs since the previous day.
Last Friday, there were 1,427 hospitalizations with 182 in ICU. This is about an 11 per cent and 18 per cent increase, respectively, to the figures this week.
According to the latest breakdown for hospitalizations, 54 per cent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for COVID-19. For those in ICUs, 39 per cent were admitted for other reasons.
Meanwhile, Ontario also reported 4,668 new lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases on Friday, which is much higher than usual considering testing restrictions. Though, the ministry of health indicates there was a data catch-up and “this is not reflective of a real daily increase in case numbers.”
