1/2 As of 6 pm Mon, Ontario's regional public health units are reporting *a lot* of new cases.
So before I report the #, let me reiterate three key things:
1. On Mondays, my count includes weekend #s in places like Durham, Halton and Guelph, and so tends to be larger that day.

2/2
2. The weekly up-down cycle is accounted for in the 7-day avg., which is *much* more important than any one day's total.
3. My count *does not* predict the province's a.m. count — it's a double-check, not a look ahead.

All that said: As of 6 p.m. Mon., the units are reporting 49,590 confirmed or probable COVID-19 cases, with 2,869 deaths
The 7-day avg. is 🔺 to 364 cases/day and 🔺 to 1.6 deaths/day.
552 cases added, by my count. (Read the caveats above.)
7-day avg. has doubled in 10 days.

I count 132 cases in units reporting multiple days today, so figure about 2/3rds of that number (90ish) are from Sat.-Sun.
Regardless, 552 is most by my count since April 23.
Growth quite striking in the GTA, flattened a touch over the last few days outside the region.
