Ontario is expected to reveal two days’ worth of COVID-19 statistics today. The province did not report the number of new diagnoses or vaccinations yesterday because it was Easter Sunday. But a day earlier, it reported some grim numbers. The province diagnosed more than 3,000 cases of COVID-19 on both Friday and Saturday.
