Please visit the interactive Ontario COVID-19 Data Tool to explore recent COVID-19 data by public health unit, age group, sex, and trends over time. A weekly summary report is available with additional information to complement the daily report. This daily report provides an epidemiologic summary of recent COVID-19 activity in Ontario. The change in cases is determined by taking the cumulative difference between the current day and the previous day. Highlights There are a total of 279,472 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ontario reported to date.

Data corrections or updates can result in case records being removed and or updated from past reports and may result in subset totals for updated case counts (i.e., age group, gender) differing from the overall updated case counts. The term public health unit reported date in this document refers to the date local public health units were first notified of the case.

Summary of confirmed variant of concern (VOC) cases: Ontario Variant Cumulative case count up to February 07 Lineage B.1.1.7 (UK variant) 219 Lineage B.1.351 (South African variant) 1 Note: Caution should be taken when interpreting VOC data due to the nature of the screening and confirmation process, including delays between specimen collection and whole genome sequencing (WGS). A confirmed VOC case is defined as a COVID-19 case in whom a designated VOC was detected by WGS of their SARS-CoV-2 positive specimen. Data corrections or updates can result in case records being removed and/or updated and may result in totals differing from past publicly reported case counts.
