We are reporting 15,161 community cases of COVID-19 today, another day in which the overall daily case numbers reported has decreased.

While decreases in cases can be encouraging, the Ministry of Health urges caution. The variation in reporting numbers each day means that the rolling average of cases gives a more reliable indicator of testing trends.

The seven-day rolling average of cases is today 17,272, up from 16,687 yesterday. Additionally, public health officials consider that one possible reason for the decrease in cases could be related to delays in people self-reporting Rapid Antigen Test results, even if it is a negative result.

It is essential we have as much information as possible to inform public health decision-making. If you take a Rapid Antigen Test, report the result online through my COVID Record.
