Ontario is reporting 779 people in hospital with COVID-19 today, and 246 in intensive care.
That's compared with 693 in hospital and 249 in intensive care Monday.
The province is also reporting 20 more COVID-19 deaths.
There were 1,208 new cases reported, though due to limited testing the province's top doctor has said the actual number of new cases is likely ten times higher.
About nine per cent of Ontario's long-term care homes are reporting an active outbreak of COVID-19.
Ontario isn't reporting data on COVID-19 cases in schools, but one school was closed for operational reasons on Monday.
