COVID-19 intensive care cases drop to a “more positive situation.”Dr. Neil Rau, an assistant professor in the University of Toronto School of Medicine who frequents a number of hospitals in the GTHA, told Global News there were still a significant number of patients being transferred to intensive care units (ICU) from region to region last week but says a recent decline in test positivity numbers is showing some promise.“There is still considerable strain and we still had stories of people being transferred long distances to Ottawa or Thunder Bay for ICU care,” said Rau.
Ontario reports more than 3,400 new COVID-19 cases, 16 deaths Just over 1,900 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, according to the province.
