TORONTO -- Ontario is reporting 1,033 new cases of COVID-19, with 18 additional deaths.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Ontario has recorded 530,543 lab-confirmed cases of the disease. That number includes 508,428 recoveries and 8,744 deaths.

Eighteen of those deaths were reported in the previous day.
