195 new COVID-19 cases and three new deaths in Ontario

Ontario reported 195 new COVID-19 cases and three new deaths on Friday.

That’s well above the 103 new cases reported on Thursday, but not the highest count we’ve seen this week.

Health Minister Christine Elliott says 66 per cent of Friday’s new cases are people under the age of 40.

Ontario is reporting 195 cases of #COVID19, a 0.5% increase. Locally, 26 of 34 PHUs are reporting five or fewer cases, with 15 of them reporting no new cases. There are 27 new cases in Ottawa and 57 new cases in Windsor-Essex. 128 or 66% of today’s cases are under the age of 40.
