Summary of cases of COVID-19 (note: cases means "positive tests," may or may not include symptoms of illness): Ontario, January 15, 2020 to Feb.1, 2021

Number of positive tests (cumulative): 270,925
Change from previous report (new positive tests): 745

NOTE: "Toronto Public Health has now migrated all of their data to the provincial data system, CCM. This migration has impacted today’s daily counts. Most notably, TPH’s case count is negative following the identification of duplicate cases as well as data corrections to some fields (e.g., long-term care home residents and health care workers), resulting in an underestimation of today's cases. In addition, case counts for other PHUs may have been affected by system outages related to the migration. As a result, we anticipate fluctuations in case numbers over the next few days."
