There were 700 new cases of C-19 counted in the overnight period, a record number since the infection was first detected in Ontario. The cases reported Monday were found in 41,000 tests. Critics of the government often focus on a failure to achieve far higher test totals. The capacity of provincial facilities and staff is estimated somewhere near 80,000 tests a day. The previous high C-19 count was 640 cases found on April 24 with far fewer tests.
Ontario is reporting 700 cases of #COVID19 with more than 41,100 tests completed. Locally, there are 344 new cases in Toronto with 104 in Peel, 89 in Ottawa and 56 in York Region. 60% of today’s cases are in people under the age of 40.
