The institute says today that there are now 1,134 confirmed cases of the more transmissible variants in the province. It says it has also detected 468 suspected cases of variants, bringing the total of suspected cases to 6,948. It takes at least seven days to confirm suspected cases through a sequencing test.Health authorities in the province reported 864 new cases of COVID-19 today and seven additional deaths linked to the novel coronavirus, including one within the previous 24 hours.

The Health Department says the number of hospitalizations rose by 10 from yesterday to 487, while the number of people in intensive care rose by six, to 126.Dr. Theresa Tam says COVID-19 vaccines are beginning to smother the pandemic in Canada but she urges slow and cautious removal of public health restrictions so they can be of maximum benefit. Reopening too soon, especially as more contagious variants spread, will likely just mean slamming things shut again after people get sick.
