Monday’s numbers were delayed due to technical issues but after they were revealed, showed a rise in COVID-related deaths.
Over the three-day period, 41 deaths were reported by the province.
Severe outcomes from the virus also continue to climb as more than 1,300 people are now in hospital with the virus — 108 of which are in the ICU.
In-depth data from Monday’s update was not available due to system issues, so Hinshaw says that data will be released Tuesday.
The live update can be viewed beginning at 3:30 p.m. on this site.
