On Monday, 3,861 people with COVID were hospitalized in Ontario, with 615 in intensive care units.
This is up to 64 hospitalizations and 11 ICUs from the previous day, though officials noted that not all hospitals reported the latest figures due to the weekend.
The province has recently begun to distinguish among those who were admitted to the hospital for COVID-related reasons and those who had been admitted for other reasons but tested positive for the virus.
However, due to the incomplete information reporting from hospitals over the weekend, those statistics aren’t updated on Mondays.
