Ontario continues to report under 200 new coronavirus cases
The Province of Ontario confirms there have been 11 more COVID-19 related deaths and 184 new cases as of Tuesday morning, marking the third day in a row known cases are under 200.
The number is a slight increase from Monday’s 181 cases but still a decrease from Sunday’s 197 and Saturday’s 266.
Monday’s cases marked the lowest number since March 28, when Ontario reported 151 cases.
The decrease in cases comes as Ontario allows most regions in the province to enter the next stage of reopening the economy — although Toronto is one of the areas not included yet.
Ontario has also officially extended its state of emergency until June 30.
According to the latest data, a total of 21,724 coronavirus tests were complete from the previous day — a small dip from the 21,751 reported on Monday.

On May 26, Ford said the province is investigating long-term care homes after reports from military members helping in long-term care homes show “heartbreaking and horrific” concerns.
The provincial government will also take over five more long-term care homes that Ford is “most concerned” about and will perform “rigorous inspections” of 13 more homes over the coming weeks.
