More than 6,000 new COVID-19 cases have been reported in Ontario in the past two days as the province entered a month-long shutdown on Saturday.
Provincial health officials registered 3,009 new cases today and 3,089 cases on Friday.
The Ministry of Health did not report the numbers yesterday due to the Good Friday holiday.
More than 3,000 cases were last reported in the province. On January 17, 3,422 cases were registered.
The seven-day roll average in new cases is now 2,552.
Provincial health officials have reported a further 39 virus-related deaths in the past two days.
There are a lot to come.
The numbers used in this story are found in the COVID-19 Daily Epidemiological Summary of the Ontario Ministry of Health. The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from that reported by the province because local units report statistics at different times.
