Ontario is reporting its lowest daily count of new COVID-19 cases in several months, with 33 new cases reported today.
But Health Minister Christine Elliott says the drop is partly due to “routine data clean-up.”
She says Toronto Public Health removed 21 cases, including some duplicates, from its total.
Elliott says an additional 75 cases have been resolved.
