Ontario marks lowest COVID-19 daily case count in months with 306 infections

Ontario health officials logged 306 new COVID-19 infections on Wednesday, marking the lowest daily case count since the beginning of August.

The new cases represent a significant decrease from the 390 infections reported on Tuesday and the 458 cases logged on the holiday Monday.

The last time Ontario logged a daily case count this low was on Aug. 5, when health officials reported 213 infections.

Ontario’s seven-day rolling average of daily infections continues to decline as a result, now standing at about 500, down from 565 the previous week.

With just over 23,200 COVID-19 tests processed in the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health says the province’s positivity rate is about 1.7 per cent.
