The province of Ontario reported 125 new cases of positive COVID-19 tests—the highest number this month, almost reaching the 134 reported on July 31st, health records show.
The total amount of people currently hospitalized for the disease is 41. Out of those 41, 15 of those are in intensive care, and out of those 15, 10 have been put on ventilators.
The total death toll in Ontario moved to 2793 from 2789 in the past 24 hours, with four new deaths. The previous 48 before that had not seen any new deaths from the virus, and under 100 new confirmed cases per day province-wide.
The province has now had 40,870 cases of the virus, and 37,126 people have recovered, and continues to consistently test at the rate of approximately 23,000 new tests per 24 hours.
The majority of the cases are coming from Peel, Windsor-Essex and Waterloo regions and from Toronto, with these four regions making up just over half all of the new cases. 16 of the 34 regions reporting had no cases whatsoever, and 11 more had five or fewer cases.
Peel Region has especially been fighting back, with aggressive controls aimed at people flouting the regulations by having house parties and similar violations of the quarantine orders.
All regions are in Stage 3 of the lockdown, where indoor dining, gyms and spas have been opened. In Toronto, mask use anywhere in public is still currently mandatory. There has been no mention of changing the current regulatory climate, and there is still excess capacity in the province’s intensive care units.
The trend of new infections being largely in people under 40 continues, but all age groups are represented within the latest group of new infections.
