Ontario reports 848 new COVID-19 cases over the last two days

Health officials in Ontario are reporting 848 more cases of COVID-19 over the last two days and two additional deaths linked to the disease.

Tuesday’s report brings the province’s seven-day average for the number of cases logged to 524—down from 576 a week ago.

Of the cases reported today, 458 were logged on Monday and 390 were logged on Tuesday. The last time Ontario reported fewer than 400 new COVID-19 infections was on Aug. 17, when 348 cases were reported.

Most of the infections reported Tuesday involve individuals who are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status, according to Health Minister Christine Elliott.

The province did not report COVID-19 case numbers on Monday due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
