The Ministry of Health reported eight clean new deaths last month.
There have been 13,351 virus-related deaths in the province since March 2020.
There are currently 506 patients with the virus in Ontario hospitals, up from 512 yesterday and 522 a week ago.
Of these patients who were hospitalized, 43 percent were infected with the virus and 57 percent were admitted for other reasons and then tested positive for the virus.
Meanwhile, 115 of these patients are being treated in the intensive care unit, one smaller than yesterday and one higher than a week ago.
The ministry reports that 53 percent of ICU patients were admitted with COVID and 47 percent were admitted for other reasons and tested positive for the virus.
Officials say 49 ICU patients are breathing with the help of a ventilator.
Ontario laboratories processed 10,385 tests in the last 24 hours, producing a positive rate of 6.9%, up from 6.4% a week ago.
The county has confirmed 786 more infections today, but health officials say daily case numbers are underestimated due to limited access to PCR testing.
Among the most recent cases, 532 of the subjects have received three or more doses of COVID-19 vaccine, 104 have received two doses, 81 have been partially or unvaccinated, and 69 have an unknown vaccination status.
Yesterday, the province administered more than 13,900 doses of vaccine throughout the province.
To date, 90 percent of Ontario residents aged five and over have received one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, 87 percent have received two doses, and 52 percent have received three doses.
On Tuesday, the federal government announced that from June 20, it will suspend vaccination orders for domestic and outbound international travel and federal employees.
Requirements for foreign nationals coming to Canada will not change.
Infectious disease specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch says the removal of orders should not lead to a significant increase in COVID infections.
“I honestly do not think there will be many obstacles to this, in terms of contagion transmission, on public transport. I do not and this is in the Omicron era. “All of these policies need to be kept up to date and up-to-date with science,” he told CP24 on Wednesday morning.
From Thursday, Ontario will move from the daily COVID report to the weekly data due to improving pandemic conditions.
Bogoch says he personally would like to see the daily report remain valid.
“I believe that numbers can help make smart behavioral changes, and I think more detailed information and transparency are obviously crucial. But you know, you obviously do not want to arm the information and sometimes we saw that this could happen as well. My bias would be to maintain these daily updates. “They were imperfect but they still helped,” he told CP24 on Wednesday morning.
The numbers used in this story are in the Ontario Department of Health’s Daily Epidemiological Summary COVID-19. The number of cases for any city or region may differ slightly from that reported by the province, as local units report data at different times.
