Ontario reports 511 new cases of COVID-19, 2 more deaths

By News Staff, The Canadian Press

Ontario is reporting 511 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday and two additional deaths.

The province tested 23,667 people yesterday, for a test positivity rate of two per cent.

In a tweet, Minister of Health Christine Elliott said 159 people are in ICU battling the virus and 146 are in hospital.

Elliott adds that due to a technical issue, vaccination data has been delayed.

More than 86 per cent of eligible Ontarians have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Meanwhile, Lindsey Park, one of Premier Doug Ford’s caucus members, has been stripped of her parliamentary assistant role for misrepresenting her COVID-19 vaccination status.
She is staying in caucus though, with a medical exemption, and Government House Leader Paul Calandra says while he had been under the impression until recently that she was vaccinated, she remains an “important member of the team.”
