Ontario reported fewer than 1,000 new cases of COVID-19 on Monday — the lowest daily number since Feb. 17.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. David Williams, who confirmed he is retiring as of June 25, said the province is still in the third wave of the pandemic but the numbers are coming down.

“These are encouraging trends,” he said Monday.

Health Minister Christine Elliott tweeted, “Ontario is reporting 916 cases of #COVID19 and over 18,200 tests completed. Locally, there are 226 new cases in Toronto, 165 in Peel, 85 in York Region, 67 in Durham and 52 in Hamilton.”

The finds were based on 18,226 tests.

Thirteen more deaths were attributed to COVID-19 Monday, bringing the number of lives lost to the pandemic to 8,757.

The province’s hospitals reported 731 patients being treated for COVID-19, with 617 in intensive care and 382 on ventilators.

While Monday’s data on hospitalizations can be underreported due to the weekend, the numbers are following a generally positive trend.
