Hamilton Public Health Services (HPHS) recorded 101 more COVID-19 cases and three more deaths in the city.
All three people who died were 80 or older, according to local data. There are also 51 people in hospital.
Of the 5,026 cases recorded since March, 992 of them are active.
Dr. Elizabeth Richardson, the city s medical officer of health, said there may be issues with the daily reporting of cases over the next few days due to tech issues, and to focus on the weekly rate of new cases per 100,000 people. That weekly rate has grown, from 114 cases to 115.3.
