Ontario Public Health is reporting 108 new cases of COVID-19 in the province this morning.
This comes on the heels of Friday's report when 131 new cases were confirmed.
One more person has also died from the virus in the last 24 hours.
There have now been 2,797 deaths from the virus since mid-January. The majority of the deaths — 1,804 — have been people living in long-term care facilities.
Saturday's new numbers bring the total tally of cases to 41,287 in Ontario since the pandemic began. Of those more than 41,000 cases, health officials say 37,487 people have recovered, which is an increase of 90 since the last report on Friday.
Across the province, more than 2.7 million COVID tests have been completed, including almost 29,000 in the last 24 hours. There are just shy of 18,000 cases currently under investigation.
