Ontario Reports 56 More Deaths From Covid 19 In The Past Week

These deaths, which occurred in the past 30 days, bring the province’s virus-related death toll to 13,869, according to the health ministry’s latest COVID-19 data released Thursday.
Twenty-two of those deaths were among long-term care residents.
The ministry says there are currently a total of 1,328 patients hospitalized with the virus in Ontario, up from 1,382 a week ago.
Of those hospitalized, 137 are in intensive care and 54 are breathing with the help of a ventilator.
The ministry says more than 38 percent of hospital patients were admitted for reasons related to COVID, while 62 were admitted for other reasons but later tested positive for the virus.
Meanwhile, 60 percent of ICU patients were admitted for the virus and 40 percent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive.
Ontario labs processed more than 10,800 tests in the past 24 hours, resulting in a positivity rate of 14.7 percent, up from 13.4 percent a week ago.
On Thursday, the province announced the next phase of its “Plan to Stay Open,” focused on health care stability and recovery.
The plan comes as hospitals have faced staff shortages and burnout in recent months, largely due to a surge in COVID-19 infections.
The plan includes adding 6,000 additional health care workers to Ontario’s overall health care system, freeing up hospital beds and investing in private clinic offices.
In late July, the province expanded vaccine eligibility to children ages six months to five years, shortly after Health Canada approved Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for infants and preschoolers.
Earlier in July, the province also extended fourth doses, or second booster doses, to all adults in the province.
As of Wednesday, the province had administered a total of 24,778 hand shots with a total of more than 34.5 million doses since the vaccines began circulating in December 2020.
To date, 90 per cent of Ontarians aged five and over have received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, 87 per cent have received two doses and 53 per cent have received three doses.
The numbers used in this story are from the Ontario Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 Data Catalog.  The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from that reported by the province because local units report figures at different times.
