In that case, data are updated the following weekday. Data in the dashboard are updated mid-afternoon Monday to Friday, except when a statutory holiday falls on a weekday.This number will include repeat tests on the same individual. We also report the province's estimate of the total number of tests taken in Huron and Perth counties.
We are aware that there have been some shipment errors between collection and the lab in a very small number of swabs and those tests are not included in these results.You may view case data by vaccination status for Ontario on the provincial COVID-19 data page and on the Science Advisory Table's Fourth Wave dashboard. We may create a summary when there is enough data to do so. To protect privacy, we will not be reporting the vaccination status of cases, or of cases who were hospitalized or died due to COVID-19.Rather, the total number of people in each group (the denominator) got bigger. Please note that the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases (the numerator) did not decrease for any municipality or age group. This means that the rates for all municipalities and age groups as of Septemare lower than what was previously shown. The 2020 data estimates there are about 10,000 more people living in Huron-Perth than there was in 2016. On Septemthe population data used to calculate the rates on this page was changed from the 2016 Census to Statistics Canada’s 2020 Annual Population Estimates. Some cases may be reassigned geographic areas as we receive more information. The confirmed positive count is a cumulative total, and includes any resolved cases or fatalities.This is not a real-time tool but is meant to keep the community informed on trends we are seeing. We report positive cases, and demographic trends of positive cases such as age, gender and municipality.
We must all act as if we could come into contact with COVID-19 anywhere in our community and as if we could pass COVID-19 on unknowingly. In addition to confirmed cases listed below, please know that there is local spread of the COVID-19 virus across Huron and Perth as well as the rest of Ontario.
