Ontario is reporting 835 new infections.

Ontario is reporting another jump in its daily COVID-19 case count, recording levels not seen since early June.
The province is reporting 835 new infections and seven virus-related deaths today. But the province notes that six of the fatalities took place more than two months ago and are being recorded now due to a data cleanup.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says 675 of the latest cases are among those who are either unvaccinated or whose immunization status is unknown, while 160 of the most recent patients were fully inoculated.
The province says 343 people are currently in Ontario hospitals due to COVID-19, with 162 patients in intensive care and 87 on a ventilator.
In Ontario, 20,679,316 vaccine doses have been administered. 82.7% of Ontarians 12+ have one dose and nearly 75.9% have two doses.
343 people are hospitalized with #COVID19. 313 are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status and 30 are fully vaccinated.
