Ontario reports 13,807 new cases of COVID-19, shattering previous record

Thursday’s report brings the province’s seven-day average for the number of cases reported to 10,327 -- the highest it’s ever been.

Health experts have said that Ontario’s high case counts in recent days are likely an underestimate given the scarcity of PCR tests provincewide. Of the 965 patients in hospital with COVID-19 -- up 239 over Wednesday's count -- at least 399 are fully vaccinated, 182 are unvaccinated, and 24 are partially vaccinated. The vaccination status of the remaining patients is unknown.

On Wednesday, Travis Kann, Premier Doug Ford’s deputy chief of staff for strategic communications, announced that the province is now trying to change"Many have pointed out the importance of distinguishing between patients in hospital or ICU for COVID19 versus those admitted for other reasons but test positive," Kann wrote in a tweet. "We've asked hospitals to update daily reporting to include this important information. We expect to begin receiving it in the coming days.

!SHATTERING previous records...Always love the words used.

If you're fully vaxxed, relax (the case will likely be mild)

Same old story…How are people still buying this? Here’s an idea don’t get tested. If you feel sick eat chicken noodle soup and sleep.

Those are the ones lucky enough to get tested. The actual number is at least 3 times of what is reported.

This is all Jason Kenney’s fault

You mean falsely reports those numbers using the now admitted faulty PCR tests as per the CDC? Please report facts not propaganda.

Wearing masks 0% effectiveness, physical distancing 0% effectiveness, testing is unreliable The only logical explanation vaccines are the blame the cause spikes in severe illness, and pointing to data that provided misinformation in their safety, effectiveness.

SCOREBOARD

Out of these Cases. How many are actually sick

Never mind media fixation on useless inaccurate case counts look at hospital adm and icy and vent numbers . Ignore the media attempts to fan the hysteria .

I am confused why are we pushing for the booster if it’s not helping?

Who cares

Blah blah blah - counting cases is dumb.

Inadequate testing How many cases do we really have? Multiply the number of cases found by PCR tests by 3 Found 13,087 Probably 40,000 actual new cases (CBC: if they find 3,000 confirmed cases, the actual number could be closer to 10,000)

IT'S MORE THAN 30,000 MOST PEOPLE HAVE IT AND NOT TESTING

And no one in the hospitals. End the restrictions. Live with it

Hey CTV. Do some investigative reporting. Look at countries that have had Omicron for over two months. Their hospitalization rates never really increased. Time to start reporting on that story.

We’re 1! We’re 1!

So you're not reporting vax status either. How convenient.

ICU continues to remain stable: Jun - 327/day Jul - 130/day Aug - 101/day Sep - 158/day Oct - 123/day Nov - 113/day Dec - 146/day

We're number one! 🙂

bethke Word of the day. Shattering. 😳🤬😬😱

Am I missing something? If 67,301 has a positivity rate of 30.5%, then shouldn't the numbers be higher? Do the math ⬇️

It's the least severe lol similar to a common cold or flu. They can't try to scare people with anything else but cAsE NuMberS
