She says 243 people are currently in hospital due to the virus, including 182 who are not vaccinated or whose vaccination status isn’t known.
Elliott says 136 COVID-19 patients are in intensive care, 120 of whom are not vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status.
The province says 88.5 per cent of residents 12 and older have received one dose of a COVID-19 shot, and 85.2 per cent have had two.
