*Reports are completed daily in the morning, except when otherwise noted. Exceptions may be made for holiday times.
**Note that all COVID-19-positive specimens in Ontario are tested for mutations present on VOCs. This testing occurs after the positive result is reported to public health. Therefore, any change in the number of cases with VOCs identified reported in daily PSAs would be for cases reported in previous PSAs.
*** Note that effective today, 'Close contact' will be used to classify cases previously reported as both 'Household contact' and 'Other close contact' for privacy reasons due to lower daily case counts. This may be revisited should case counts increase.
