Ontario is reporting 112 new cases of COVID-19 and one new death related to the coronavirus.

There were also 78 cases newly marked as resolved in today’s report.

The total number of cases now stands at 42,195, which includes 2,810 deaths and 38,204 cases marked as resolved.

Health Minister Christine Elliott says 29 of the province’s 34 public health units are reporting five or fewer new cases, while 17 units are reporting none.

She says the province was able to complete 24,970 tests over the previous day.

The province says 51 people are currently in hospital with the virus, with 20 in intensive care and 10 on ventilators.

It notes that about 35 hospitals did not submit daily bed census data for the period, as is often the case on weekends. Those numbers will be reflected in the coming days.
