The number of new cases of the coronavirus is staying relatively consistent.
Public Health Ontario is reporting 137 new COVID-19 cases in the province today; that represents a .7% increase in the overall number of cases. On Saturday, authorities reported 138 new cases.
Among the new cases, 39 are in Toronto, 28 are in Ottawa and 25 are in Windsor.
There were four more deaths reported Sunday, raising the total number of deaths to 2,763.
Over the last 24 hours, more than 26,000 tests for the virus were completed across the province, bringing the total number of tests in Ontario since the pandemic began to 2,044,957.
In total, there have been 38,680 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province since the pandemic began. Almost 89% of those cases have been resolved.
Of the 2,763 deaths of people with COVID-19, 1,792 were residents of long-term care homes while eight were long-term care health workers. Seven per cent of all Ontario cases reported have ended in death.
There are more than 1,500 active, lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the province based on Public Health Ontario's epidemiological report. Of those, 87 people are currently hospitalized with 29 patients in intensive care and 21 patients on ventilators.
However, according to today's report, about 30 hospitals did not submit data today, so there may be an increase in the number of hospitalized patients once those hospitals report.
As of today, there are 12 active outbreaks at long-term care homes in Ontario.
There are now six active cases of COVID-19 in Northeastern Ontario, including one found Saturday by Public Health Sudbury and Districts and another found the same day by the Thunder Bay District Health Unit.
