12 new deaths reported today -- which makes for the seventh straight day of double-digit deaths.
Total number of tests completed yesterday was 28,401 while there are 26,646 under investigation.
There are 821 cases listed as resolved - meaning there are more active cases. There's now 9,105 people currently infected with COVID-19 in the province.
The number of people in hospital is 367 which is down by 7.
The number of people in ICU is 84 which is down by 4.

However that comes with an asterisk. The province says on its database:
"As we often observe on weekends, a number of hospitals (approximately 42) did not submit data to the Daily Bed Census for November 7. We anticipate the number of hospitalized patients may increase when reporting compliance increases."
