The number of people with COVID-19 in a hospital in Ontario is 671, as those admitted to the intensive care unit associated with the virus are approaching 100.
Hospitalizations with COVID-19 in Ontario have generally declined in recent weeks, although Saturday’s data increased slightly from Friday’s 669.
At the same time, the number of people admitted to the intensive care unit related to COVID-19 fell to 107 – a level not seen since August 3, 2021.
Of the hospital patients, 412 were fully vaccinated, 76 were unvaccinated and 35 were partially vaccinated. The vaccination status of the other patients has not been published.
Most hospitalizations were considered random at 59 percent, meaning that these patients were not admitted to COVID-19 but have tested positive since then. The remaining 41% of patients were admitted to hospital due to their diagnosis of COVID-19.
In the intensive care unit, 60 patients were fully vaccinated, 10 were unvaccinated and four were partially vaccinated. No other information on vaccination has been published.
Seventy-four percent of these patients were in intensive care due to COVID-19, while the remaining 26 percent tested positive after being admitted for another reason.
Ten more deaths have been reported in the past 24 hours, but the health ministry said all of those deaths had occurred in the past month.
The death toll from COVID-19 in Ontario is now 13,285.
The province processed 9,829 tests for COVID-19 overnight, resulting in a positive 7.9 percent, according to the health ministry.
At least 901 laboratory-confirmed cases of the virus have been confirmed by these tests, although the true number of cases across the province is unknown due to limited access to PCR testing.
Ontario observed 1,306,890 cases of COVID-19 during the pandemic, including 1,284,384 cured.
