The Ministry of Health has published the data of the coronavirus for yesterday and today due to the holiday of Good Friday.
It reported 13 net deaths on Friday and 10 deaths today, bringing the death toll in the province to 12,629.
Five of the 23 deaths were among long-term care residents.
The ministry said there were 1,427 patients being treated for the virus in hospitals on Friday, down from 1,130 today.
Of those being treated today, 45 percent were admitted for COVID-19-related reasons and 55 percent were admitted for other reasons, but then tested positive for the virus.
In addition, 182 of these patients who were treated were in the intensive care unit on Friday and another three were added to the ICU today.
On Thursday, the Ontario Scientific Advisory Board released new forecasts for COVID-19 and said hospitalizations could exceed 3,000 by May in the most likely scenario, reaching levels experienced during the fifth wave of the pandemic. last winter.
The table also predicted that the number of patients with COVID in the ICU would increase, but that the final peak was likely to be lower than it was during the last wave.
Ontario laboratories processed nearly 19,300 PCR tests in the past 24 hours, generating a 18.5 percent positive rate compared to 18.4 percent a week ago, according to the ministry.
In addition, the county has confirmed 4,201 infections today, but this is still underestimated due to limited testing.  On Friday, the province confirmed 4,332 new cases.
Among the new cases reported today, 2,668 people have received three doses of COVID-19 vaccine, 912 have received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, 455 have not been fully vaccinated and 166 have an unknown vaccination status.
Earlier this week, the head of the Ontario Scientific Advisory Board said the daily number of cases appeared to have slowed amid the sixth wave of the pandemic, based on sewage data.
“We know we’re slowing down. It ‘s a plateau now, and we’re living on a high plateau? Are we going up again, especially after Easter? It’ s up to us. Or do we start going down? “But in any case, it looks much better than it did six, seven days ago,” Dr Peter Jüni told CP24 on Wednesday.
Jüni said the delay could be attributed to a number of factors, including accumulated immunity through vaccination and infection.
To date, 90 percent of Ontario residents aged five and over have received one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, 86 percent have received two doses, and 51 percent have received three doses.
The numbers used in this story are in the Ontario Department of Health’s Daily Epidemiological Summary COVID-19.  The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from that reported by the province, as local units report data at different times.
