Ontario is reporting 70 new cases of the novel coronavirus, the lowest day-over-day increase since the virus first started sweeping through Ontario in March.
The provincial total now sits just shy of 40,000, at 39,967.
The province is making a push at a full week of day-over-day increases below 100 cases, with Saturday being the sixth day.
Hospitalizations and ICU admissions both declined with the number of vented patients remaining stable. Locally, 29 of Ontario’s 34 public health units are reporting five or fewer cases with 15 of them reporting no new cases.
