TORONTO Health officials in Ontario are reporting nearly 6,000 new COVID-19 infections over the past two days as ICU admissions related to the disease reach an all-time high. The province says it logged 2,938 infections on Monday and 3,041 on Sunday. The Ministry of Health did not report numbers yesterday due to the Easter Sunday holiday. Right now, there are 494 patients being treated in an intensive care unit with a COVID-related critical illness, the government said.
Monday’s report brings the total number of lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in Ontario to 364,537. This number includes 331,600 recoveries and 7,450 deaths. At least 10 of those deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours and another 12 were recorded on Sunday.
