TORONTO — Ontario is reporting 1,829 people hospitalized with COVID-19 and 435 in intensive care units.

That’s down from 1,897 hospitalized and 445 in intensive care yesterday.

The province is also reporting 50 more deaths linked to COVID-19.

Ontario reported 2,907 new cases of the virus, though limits on access to tests means the number is likely higher.

Ontario isn’t reporting data on COVID-19 cases in schools, but five schools were closed for operational reasons yesterday.
