- There were only small increases (5% or less) in new results in all areas except Northeast which had a 15% increase in new positive results.
- Test volume continues to vary slightly for First Nations. However, test volume continues to decrease in Ontario. Decreases in positive results in Ontario should be interpreted in this light.
- The cumulative positivity rate is increasing only very slowly in Ontario and in First Nations.
- The rates of hospitalizations and deaths may have increased only very slightly this week. This change is very possibly within normal variation.
