Ontario Hospitalization Numbers Up for Second Straight Day

Premier Doug Ford says province is prepared but won't say if restrictions will be reintroduced

Ontario is reporting a small rise in the number of people hospitalized with COVID-19. 

It marks the second straight day of rising cases. 

Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province is prepared for an increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, but he isn't saying yet whether he'll reintroduce any public health measures to respond to it.

The province reporting 667 people in hospital with COVID-19 and 161 in intensive care today -- both numbers up slightly from yesterday.

Fifteen more COVID-19 deaths are also being reported, and the province is reporting more than 27-hundred new cases of COVID-19.

The province's top doctor says the actual number is likely 10 times higher than the daily log, since access to P-C-R testing is restricted.
