Ontario reported 114 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Monday, bringing the total number of cases in the province to 42,309.
It’s a similar increase compared to Sunday, when 112 cases were reported.
“Locally, 30 of Ontario’s 34 public health units are reporting five or fewer cases, with 18 reporting no new cases,” Health Minister Christine Elliott said on Twitter.
Forty-one cases are from Toronto, 21 from Ottawa, 16 from Peel Region, and 12 from York Region.
A total of 38,277 cases are considered resolved which is over 90 per cent of all confirmed cases.
Elliott said the province processed nearly 25,100 additional tests.
Ontario has now reported 100 or more COVID-19 cases in 10 of the last 11 days.
One new death was also announced on Monday, bringing the provincial death toll to 2,811.
A total of 49 people are hospitalized with the virus (down by two), with 18 in intensive care (down by two) and nine on a ventilator (down by one).
The province notes that not all hospitals have reported patient statuses for Aug. 29 — as is often the case on weekends — likely causing the reported number of hospitalizations to be lower than it actually is.
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.

- 19,799 people are male
