There are 1,455 COVID-positive people currently hospitalized, according to the latest Ontario update.
The province expects that number will increase once all hospitals submit their data as more than 10 per cent of hospitals don't actively supply data over the weekend.
There are 219 COVID patients in intensive care unit beds and 97 are on a ventilator with COVID-related illness.
The province also reported two more COVID-related deaths.
Over the course of the pandemic, the province has reported 12,736 deaths that were either caused by COVID, COVID was a contributing factor to the death, or the cause of death was unknown or missing.
The daily update included 2,028 lab-confirmed COVID cases. Case counts are assumed to be underestimated because of limited PCR testing and only PCR results are included in the daily case counts.
Since the start of the pandemic, Public Health Ontario has confirmed 1,244,186 cases of COVID-19 and reported 1,197,545 cases recovered or resolved.
