The slow drop in new cases of COVID-19 continues in Ontario, with 173 new cases identified on Thursday. That marks the fifth straight day below 200 new cases. It's also below the seven-day average of 200.
Of the new cases, 60% came in Toronto, Peel and Windsor, with Toronto recording 70 new cases.
The number of recoveries is still outpacing the new cases, meaning there are fewer active cases of the virus in the province. The number of people who recovered was 253, leaving 2,363 active cases of COVID-19 in the province.
Three new deaths were reported in the province, which is the lowest total since March 28th when there was one new death.
