Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province is able to manage what he calls the “little spike” in COVID-19 cases.
Hospitalizations of people with COVID-19 jumped 30 per cent on Monday week over week.
The province reported 857 people in hospital with the virus Monday, compared with 655 last Monday.
Not all hospitals report that data from the weekend, so those numbers may be undercounts.
The province is reporting 168 COVID-19 patients in intensive care.
Locally, there are currently 6 people in hospital with COVID-19 with 1 person in the ICU.
