Ontario reported 119 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Monday, bringing the provincial total to 38,799.
“Locally, 30 of the province’s 34 public health units are reporting five or fewer cases, with 16 of them reporting no new cases,” Health Minister Christine Elliott said on Twitter.
Forty cases were from Windsor-Essex, 28 from Ottawa, and 20 from Toronto.
Elliott said 76 of the new cases — or nearly 64 per cent — are among those under 40.
“Yesterday, Ontario processed nearly 25,000 #COVID19 tests,” Elliott added.
A total of 34,461 cases are considered resolved.
One new death was also announced on Monday, bringing the provincial death toll to 2,764.
The reported number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is 82, with 30 in intensive care and 18 on a ventilator. However, officials said approximately 34 hospitals did not submit data for Saturday, as is often the case on the weekends.
“We anticipate that there may be an increase in the number of hospitalized patients when we have more complete reporting,” officials said.
The newly reported numbers are valid as of 2 p.m. Sunday for Toronto, Ottawa and London and 4 p.m. for the rest of the province.
