1(New, November 24, 2020) Case counts include laboratory confirmed cases as well as probable cases as defined by the Ontario Ministry of Health (probable case definition [PDF]), except for individuals who have a preliminary positive result—these are individuals who have a positive result from a point-of-care test and for whom laboratory confirmation is required. The case count also includes those who have resolved in accordance with current public health criteria.

Outbreaks of COVID-19 and potential exposure risks
This section is updated when information is available. Public Health reports all outbreaks in schools, long-term care homes, and retirement homes. We also report community outbreaks or possible exposures for which Public Health is unable to contact everyone directly to advise them of their potential exposure to COVID-19. Information in this section will be removed one week after an outbreak is declared over.

- it is determined there was a risk of public exposure
- Public Health may not be able to contact everyone directly who may have been exposed
Locations will be removed from the list 21 days following exposure.
