The Ontario government will make an announcement on COVID-19 restrictions in the province sometime this week, a government source says.

Earlier this month, the province implemented new restrictions amid a spike in Omicron cases. The government said the measures would be in place until at least Jan. 26.

They included additional capacity limits, a ban on indoor dining, and the closure of several types of facilities including gyms, cinemas, and museums.

The number of those hospitalized with COVID-19 in Ontario has continued to increase, reaching a record of 4,183 as of Tuesday’s update, though just over half of those individuals were initially admitted to hospital because of the virus. Just over 46 per cent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for COVID-19.

Of those hospitalized with COVID, 580 are in intensive care — around 18 per cent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for the virus.

Due to testing restrictions that were recently put in place, daily case counts have largely become unreliable in getting a true sense of the community spread of COVID.

However, the positivity rate has dropped slightly over the past couple weeks, but as of Tuesday’s report still remained high at 24.5 per cent.
