No change in weekly COVID cases reported by the Northwestern Health Unit.
There remains 151 cases considered serious.
This number is lower than the ‘real’ number due to the fact many people are not eligible for PCR testing and instead test positive on Rapid Antigen tests at home and are not counted in the total.
The test positivity rate has dropped however and now sits at 15.1 per cent.
It was 19.6 per cent last week.
Ontario is reporting 1,734 hospitalizations and 211 in intensive care Wednesday.
There were 22 new COVID-related deaths.
