- **An update of any new variant of concern (VOC) data is not available due to an update of the provincial database that has resulted in a large reclassification of York Region’s cases. The change in case classification has led to a number of data errors and work is underway by the province to remedy these issues with other public health units reporting the same concerns.
Recovery Measures
- 52 (+0) 7-day average of new cases
- 28 (+2) new cases per 100,000 residents in last 7 days (incidence rate)
- 0.64 (+0.0) Alpha variants, 1.31 (+0.01) Delta variants 7-day median reproductive number*
- 192 tests on Aug. 16, 2 positive (1.0% positivity)
- *York Region has updated the daily reproductive number (Rt) data to compare Alpha and Delta variant cases; previously, the Rt data compared variants of concern and SARS-CoV-2 (reference strain). The Rt estimates the average number of people infected for every one person with COVID-19; when it is greater than one, the number of cases is expected to increase; when Rt is less than one, it is expected cases will decrease and transmissions will slow.
