Ontario health officials say two others have died from COVID-19.
The two deaths occurred in the last month and involve one resident in long-term care, according to the province’s epidemiological report.
A total of 13,161 people have died after contracting the new coronavirus since the pandemic began.
Officials say 809 people are in hospital with the disease, although many establishments did not report infection over the weekend.
At least 152 of these patients are in intensive care.
With just over 9,700 COVID-19 tests processed in the last 24 hours, the province’s positive rate is about nine percent.
On Saturday, the positive rate was below nine percent for the first time since the end of February.
Testing has been severely limited over the past few months, and health experts say the number of cases reported daily should be considered underestimated.
Officials will not release any data on COVID-19 on Monday due to the holiday.
