Ontario logged a record-breaking 10,436 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, just days after the daily tally breached the 10,000 mark for the first time since the pandemic began.
Hospitalizations are up by 235 people Wednesday from the day before, with 726 now in hospital with COVID-19.
Intensive care admissions were also on the rise, with 190 people in intensive care due to the virus. Public health resources like testing and contact tracing have been overwhelmed by the sheer number of cases.
With the highly infectious Omicron variant driving similarly unprecedented virus trends across the country, some provinces have decided to extend the winter break for students and keep kids out of class for longer.
