Ontario health officials are reporting another record-breaking number of new COVID-19 cases 18,445 new COVID-19 cases and 12 more deaths were reported today. This comes at the Province of Ontario announced it will no longer be tracking new COVID-19 infections or offering PCR testing to the general public as of next week. The province noted that due to changes in availability of testing, the case counts being reported are an underestimate of the true number of infections in Ontario. Officials warned the data should be 'interpreted with caution.' As of net week the province said that members of the general public with mild symptoms are being asked not to seek testing. The Ontario government announced on Friday that it will no longer collect COVID-19 numbers from school boards and will no longer report the number of COVID-19 infections among students and staff starting next week. Going forward Ontarians will be in the dark in terms of knowing what the true burden of infection is in the community.
