The latest case count comes as some family doctors begin administering COVID-19 vaccinations in six regions today and a pilot project to offer vaccines at pharmacies expands.
Some family doctors in Toronto, Peel Region, Hamilton, Guelph, Peterborough and Simcoe-Muskoka have been shipped some 29,500 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to administer to people aged 60 to 64 years old.
People are being asked not to call their doctor s office as physicians will reach out to those who are eligible for the vaccine.
