But despite the sustained increase in infections and modelling predicting a continued rise into October, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says now is not the time to roll some or the entire province back into Stage 2 of its reopening plan.
Of the new cases confirmed on Wednesday, more than three-quarters of them are in the GTA, including 288 in Toronto, 97 in Peel Region, 41 in York Region, 25 in Durham Region and 33 in Halton Region. Of the 625 new cases, less than half involved people between the ages of 20 and 39. People between the ages of 40 and 59 were the next most affected age group, accounting for 169 of the new cases. The elderly continue to see lower levels of transmission with the oldest age demographic tracked by the province accounting for just 13 of the new cases.
The latest data suggests that there are currently 150 people hospitalized with COVID-19, including 35 in intensive care units.
