Ontario is reporting 324 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday and three additional deaths. It’s the sixth straight day that daily cases have topped the 300 mark in the province.

There were 321 new cases reported on Tuesday.

Among those hospitalized (excluding ICU), the majority are partially vaccinated (37), followed by unvaccinated (32) and fully vaccinated (6).

On its website, the province notes that “cases by vaccination status may not match the daily COVID-19covid 19 case count because records with a missing or invalid health card number cannot be linked.”

Wednesday’s test positivity rate is 1.7 per cent, unchanged from the day before, and 24,772 tests were completed.

There are now 108 people in the ICU with COVID-19 complications and 70 ICU patients on a ventilator.
