Ontario’s health minister will provide an update Wednesday morning on public health trends and data.

Christine Elliott will be joined by Dr. Kieran Moore, the province’s chief medical officer of health and Ontario Health CEO Matthew Anderson

Moore said last week that he was watching for a peak or plateau of COVID-19 hospitalizations due to the surge of the Omicron variant.

He said the peak of infections may happen in the next few weeks. Hospitalizations and ICU admissions typically happen one or two weeks after infection.

Ontario saw a record 4,183 people in hospital with COVID-19 on Tuesday, including 580 people in intensive care.

The news conference is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.
