Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore said Thursday that a week after COVID-19 restrictions began to ease, key health indicators continue to improve.

Moore said hospitalizations and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admissions have continued to decline as do outbreaks in long-term care and hospital settings. Ontario reported 1,066 people in hospital with COVID on Thursday, with 302 in intensive care units. This is down by 40 hospitalizations and a decrease of 17 in ICUs since the previous day.

Of the 1,066 people in hospital with COVID-19, 49 per cent of them were admitted because of the virus, while 51 per cent were admitted for other reasons but tested positive for COVID-19.

Of the 302 people in ICUs with the virus, 74 per cent were admitted because of COVID, while 26 per cent were admitted for other reasons.

Moore also said that COVID-19 risks associated with March Break travel are "decreasing day-by-day" and encouraged people if they've taken advantage of immunization and follow the principles of mitigating the risks that they should "enjoy March Break as best they can."
