The Ministry of Health has confirmed another 606 new cases of COVID-19, making Monday the second straight day in which a record has been hit. The 606 new cases surpass the 568 that were reported on Sunday. Those numbers, however, were believed to have been inflated due to the belated addition of data from Toronto Public Health that was not uploaded to the provincial database the previous day.
