Ontario is reporting 112 patients with COVID-19 symptoms in the province’s hospitals on Wednesday, a one-day rise of 41 cases.

Overall new cases continue to drop. The province said there were 139 new cases reported for a total of 551,125 cases since the pandemic began.

There were also 11 new deaths for a total of 9,360. However, Public Health Ontario reported that seven of the deaths occurred in 2020 and were updated in “data cleaning” on Tuesday.

The number of people in ICU with COVID-19 related conditions were up slightly to 108, while the number of patients on ventilator rose to 76.

Provincial data show 99.5 per cent of all COVID-19 ICU admissions from mid-June to mid-July were in unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people, and nearly 96 per cent of related deaths were in the same group.

The province administered 60,094 doses of vaccine Tuesday, for a total of 19,652,011.

Ontario said one case in Ottawa has been removed after further examination, bring Ottawa’s toll to -1 for the day. Ottawa Public Health reports its own statistics later in the day. These can vary from the provincial tally because the data are collected later in the day.

The province’s hot spots continue to be Toronto, with 26 new case, Waterloo region with 19, 18 in Peel Region, 15 in York Region and 12 in Hamilton.

In regions in the capital area, there were no new cases reported in health units in Eastern Ontario, Kingston, Leeds Grenville and Lanark, and Renfrew county and district.

Latest COVID-19 news in Ottawa

Ottawa reported seven fewer cases of COVID-19 Wednesday, due to a data adjustment.

In a message, Ottawa Public Health reported that there were five new cases in the capital, but 12 cases were removed because it was determined they were not Ottawa residents. The agency noted that it “only reports on cases for those who live in Ottawa.”

The capital has now had 27,821 cases of the virus since the pandemic began.

There were no new deaths reported and the toll remains at 593.

Ottawa Public Health is aware of 43 active cases.

There were no patients in hospital and no ongoing outbreaks in community settings.

In closely watched indicators, the rolling average of new cases daily is 3.8 per 100,000 population. The percent positivity in testing is 0.5, and the reproductive number, which indicates how man new patients could be infected by a COVID-19 patient is 0.94. A number under 1 indicates the virus could be receding.

Latest COVID-19 news in Quebec

Quebec reported 184 new cases on Wednesday, bringing the total number of people infected during the pandemic to 378,157.

There were no new deaths. The total number of patients who died was reduced by one to 11,240, after one death was determined not to have been attributable to COVID-19.

Hospitalizations remain unchanged at 58, while two fewer patients were in ICU for a total of 17.

The province administered 49,337 doses Tuesday, for a total of 11,297,295 doses received by Quebecers.

Latest COVID-19 news nationally

A new poll suggests more Canadians believe the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic has not passed as concerns rise about a fourth wave of infections driven by the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.

Fifty-four per cent of respondents to an online survey by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies say the worst of the COVID-19 crisis is already over, compared with 63 per cent who believed so in a survey last month.

Leger executive vice-president Christian Bourque said there is a nine per cent drop in the percentage of people who believe that the worst is behind us and a six per cent increase in the percentage of those who say the worst is yet to come.

“We are seeing an impact of all the talk around the Delta variant,” he said. “It is scaring some Canadians.”

The poll also found that 73 per cent of Canadians believe that governments should not lift all restrictions related to COVID-19 at the moment.

Bourque said that number is up by three points since another survey asked the same question last month.

The online poll of 1,534 adult Canadians was carried out July 30 and Aug. 1, and it cannot be assigned a margin of error because internet-based surveys are not considered random samples.

Canada’s top doctor warned last week that the country is at the start of a fourth wave of COVID-19 that could lead to a sharp resurgence in cases if public health restrictions are lifted before vaccination rates pick up.

“The trajectory will depend on an ongoing increase in fully vaccinated coverage and the timing, pace and extent of reopening,” Dr. Theresa Tam said Friday as she revealed new COVID-19 modelling.

“While some resurgence is expected as measures are eased, this updated model shows that if we maintain current levels of community-wide contacts, we would expect to see a modest increase in cases.”
