Ontario is reporting 164 new cases of COVID-19 Tuesday and one death.

The province also says 168 cases were confirmed on Monday and one additional death.

The numbers are based on more than 11,500 tests completed on Monday and 11,700 on Sunday.

Health Minister Christine Elliott says today’s numbers include 45 new cases in Toronto, 23 in York Region, and 22 in Peel Region.

The province says more than 70,000 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine were administered over the two days for a total of nearly 19.6 million.

There are 106 people in intensive care due to COVID-related critical illness, and 78 people are on ventilators.
