Ontario reported another 1,487 cases of COVID-19 on Monday, pushing the seven-day average to a new high as more regions move into the red "control" level of restrictions. There are currently some 12,830 confirmed, active cases of COVID-19 provincewide, also a record-high since the outbreak began in Ontario in January. Today's newly confirmed cases come as Ontario's labs processed 33,351 test samples for the novel coronavirus. There is capacity for up to 50,000 per day, and public health officials have previously said they hope to expand that capacity to 100,000 daily by mid-December. (Evan Mitsui/CBC)The number of people with confirmed cases of the illness in Ontario hospitals rose to 500, though data from 40 hospitals is not included in today's total.
