ICU admissions near 800 as Ontario sees new high for COVID-19 vaccinations

Ontario reported another 4,212 cases of COVID-19 and 32 more deaths linked to the illness on Wednesday, as public health units administered a new high of 136,695 doses of vaccines.

The previous single-day high for vaccine doses was 115,634 on April 16. Ontario’s COVID-19 vaccine task force has said it hopes to reach a benchmark of at least 150,000 shots per day when shipments of the Pfizer vaccine ramp up in coming weeks.
