Ontario is reporting 1,038 people in hospital with COVID-19, including 274 in intensive care.
That’s down from 1,403 hospitalizations and 321 in intensive care a week ago.
The province is also reporting nine more deaths due to the virus.
There are also 1,282 new COVID-19 cases logged, though policies restricting access to testing mean that number is likely higher.
The province says 129 long-term care homes — or about 20 per cent of facilities — have active COVID-19 outbreaks.
Ontario isn’t reporting data on COVID-19 cases in schools, but three schools were closed on Feb. 18, the most recent data posted given the Family Day holiday.
