The province's public health agency has confirmed 649 new cases of COVID-19 in Ontario today.
Public Health Ontario has also confirmed one person over the age of 80 has died of COVID-19 since yesterday's report.
Of the 3,005 deaths reported by the province so far, 2,068 people have been 80 years of age or older.
According to today's epidemiological summary, the 649 cases reported today include 373 people under the age of 40 and another 175 people between 40 and 59 years old.
Of today's new cases 438 were reported by four health units. Peel Public Health reported 157 new cases for today's update, Toronto reported 140, York reported 87, and Ottawa reported 54.
Since yesterday's summary, Ontario labs have processed another 44,138 COVID tests, and there are 45,837 tests awaiting results.
To date, the province has confirmed 59,139 cases of COVID-19, and has reported 3,005 deaths (5.1 per cent of all cases) and 50,437 recoveries (85 per cent of all cases).
There are 5,697 active, lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ontario, including 217 people who are hospitalized with the coronavirus. Of those 51 COVID patients are in intensive care units and 32 COVID patients are on ventilators. Some hospitals do not report daily bed census data on weekends, so Public Health Ontario notes the hospitalizations could increase once those numbers are reported and counted on Tuesday.
