Ontario is reporting 1,038 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, bringing the provincial total to 289,621 according to Chief Provincial Health Officer Dr. David Williams.

Thursday’s case count is higher than Wednesday’s which saw 847 new infections. On Tuesday, 904 new cases were recorded and 964 on Monday.

It also brings the daily case count above 1,000 for the first time in five days, although it was also the day with the most tests completed.

Meanwhile, four Ontario regions still under a stay-at-home order will learn on Friday whether the province will go ahead with its plan to loosen public health restrictions next week.

York, Peel, Toronto and North Bay Parry Sound are the four outstanding regions that have yet to move from the stay-at-home order back to the original framework.
