TORONTO — Ontario is reporting 412 new cases of COVID-19 and 27 new deaths related to the virus today.
The province now has a total of more than 25,000 cases, which includes 19,146 resolved cases and 2,048 deaths.
The rise in cases represents a 1.7 per cent increase over yesterday’s total, and the daily growth rate has hovered between 1.5 and 1.9 per cent over most of the last two weeks.
The province was able to complete 11,028 tests the previous day, which is still well below the province’s capacity of 21,000 per day.
New testing regulations start today, with asymptomatic front-line health-care workers being tested across the province.
The province will also begin a second round of testing in long-term care homes, which have been hardest hit by COVID-19.
We never gone have a normal life with him as minister of ontario
Marie Guindon like a dog on a bone
This article is a day old. There were 469 cases reported Sunday 24th.
oops that should read 460
Do not include Northern Ontario with S Ontario…we have had very few cases…but we also followed the rules!…
Linda Moldovan that’s the problem he will. Whatever happens in Toronto he will take out on us.
When covid first appeared if you were on a cruise you were sent to complex to self isolate but yet thousand of international travel on planes told to go home an self isolate..we see obviously they didn’t….should of banned all travel first then lock down
460 was reported
How does that compare for a province of that size and population number and relative density with a state of the US with similar parameters???
Ontario has the highest death rate compared to Covid cases 10% death rate. Not even Quebec is that high.
Why are we allowing travel across the province?
Most of the deaths are in ltc homes, I didn’t know they travelled.
Angel Wheeler why bother commenting when you have nothing but judgement. Sad to see the other deaths don’t matter to you.
Angel Wheeler they may not but the staff are travelling and working.
Maarit Steinwedel Don’t just look at the percentages. Look at the demographics, look at the full statistical data sheet. Staying home for everyone forever is not going to work. Another month and people will be resuming their lives to some degree regardless of the government.
David Coccimiglio I’m looking at what is put out by the Canadian government? Your right it’s not going to work forever.
We are living by example in Ontario, trumps example.
This photo proves what happens when you lighten the restrictions even just slightly.

This will never end… it spreads like a cold, asymptomatic, effect different demographics differently. Let’s keep the hospitals form getting over loaded but let’s not sell some
Illusion that this will
Ever go away….
David Coccimiglio lot of lies
David Coccimiglio some people actually believe it will go away if they stay home
Jeff Dupre it’s not going anywhere soon get outside and enjoy life
SaultOnline, 412 is NOT TODAY’S NUMBERS. Today’s number is 460😢
Time to shut down Toronto like they did during SARS. The rest of the province is sick and tired about being punished for what a bunch of self entitled retarded yahoos do in Toronto.
Alan Waller I agree!!! 💯
Alan Waller first of all, they did not “shut down TORONTO” and secondly, people aren’t purposely running out spreading the virus, most of these people are already sick. You can’t shut down the entire economy to try and save everyone’s life. There are still more Flu deaths reported than COVID deaths. Let’s just try and save everyone from COVID and forget everything else that this “shut down” is doing economically! 🤬
Emma Marisa if they had shut down Toronto right from the start, there would not have been any cases elsewhere in the province. All the cases in the provinces can be traced back to travel to/from Toronto. Pictures from Trinity Belle Park yesterday shows how retarded people in Toronto can be when it comes to following advice of medical professionals.
Alan Waller Ford thinks all of Ontario is in Toronto. He cares little for anything outside of the GTA!! Shut Toronto down. Close the highways into other cities and let SSM and other cities with low counts thrive!! #SSMStrong
Alan Waller people will always be this way…dumb and dumber but the solution at this point, because we can’t change the past, is not to shut everything down, we need to start responsibly opening up the economy…we can’t be in a bubble, we need to build/maintain immunities…blah blah blah…it’s a vicious circle and trading in a headache for a stomach ache.
Alan Waller don’t forget London, Ottawa and the Niagara region as well there a lot of people everywhere in Ontario that are part of this problem.
Emma Marisa you are wrong!
Keep opening up
Sault Online, I thought 412 was yesterday and it’s 460 today?
Tyler Parsons 460 today, you’re correct.
For all that stayed home. Hope not for nothing
Time to shutdown alot thing’s to get this virus under control
