Global News published this video item, entitled “COVID-19: Ontario health officials provide update on pandemic data, trends | LIVE” – below is their description.
Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott will be joined by chief medical officer of health Dr. Kieran Moore and CEO of Ontario Health Matthew Anderson to provide an update Wednesday on key health system data and trends.
The number of those hospitalized with COVID-19 in Ontario has continued to increase, reaching a record of 4,183 as of Tuesday’s update, though just over half of those individuals were initially admitted to hospital because of the virus. Just over 46 per cent were incidental cases, meaning they were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for COVID-19.
Due to testing restrictions that were recently put in place, daily case counts have largely become unreliable in getting a true sense of the community spread of COVID-19.
The Ontario government is also expected to make an announcement on COVID-19 restrictions sometime this week, a government source says. Earlier this month, the province implemented new restrictions amid a spike in Omicron cases. The government said the measures would be in place until at least Jan. 26.
