Six deaths from the disease were reported on Sunday. Health officials say three of those deaths have occurred in the past 30 days. The other three took place before that and were added to the cumulative number due to “data cleansing”.
12,734 deaths have been reported in Ontario due to COVID-19.
With just over 16,000 tests for COVID-19 processed in the last 24 hours, the Department of Health says the Ontario test is about 15.5 percent.
At least 4,098 positive cases of COVID-19 have been identified through these tests, although this number is underestimated due to limited access to free PCR tests in the province.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in Ontario, 1,242,158 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported. That number includes 1,194,904 people who have recovered.
