% Hospital occupancy 43% All data in this report were extracted from Case and Contact Management System (CCM) and Ontario Laboratories Information System (OLIS) on Apr 12, 2021 at 11:00am. NWHU’s reports of COVID-19 cases are based on the best available information at the time of publication. There may be times when the COVID-19 statistics on the Ministry’s website do not match those reported by NWHU because updates take place at different times of the day. Data are being entered into CCM and OLIS continuously, and the information in the database changes over the course of the day.
Active Cases
Active cases reflect the status at the time of publication. All information pertains to cases that are ‘confirmed’ positive for COVID-19. Any cases currently considered ‘probable’ for COVID-19 may be included in future reports if they are subsequently confirmed with positive test results.
Deceased Cases
Deaths reported include those who had COVID-19 at time of death but died of another cause.
Exposure sources
Refers to the confirmed case’s most likely source of COVID-19 following contact tracing and exposure investigation by NWHU. Cases with more than one possible exposure type are assigned the most likely source. 'No known exposure' means no history of travel and no known exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19. 'Travel' means travel outside of Northwestern Ontario. Note that provincial reports only consider 'travel' as the exposure if the case traveled outside of Ontario, so there may be discrepancies between this page and provincial data.
Hospitalizations
Cases with a hospital intervention due to COVID-19 as indicated in CCM.
Positivity Rate (or Percent Positivity)
Refers to the percentage of tests completed which were positive for COVID-19. This is calculated by dividing the number of positive tests by the total number of tests completed, then multiplying by 100 to obtain a percentage. A lower percent positivity indicates that more people are being tested who are not infected. Percent positivity is used to monitor the community infection rate.
Rate per 100,000 people
Refers to the number of cases/tests for every 100,000 people living in each reporting area. This is calculated by dividing the total number of tests done by the most recent population estimate, then multiplying that number by 100,000.
Reporting Regions
Reporting regions in this report correspond to local health hub census divisions.
