UPDATE

Deputy Premier Christine Elliott says the reason the numbers are so high today is because of a glitch in the system from yesterday. 

"We’ve learned of a small glitch with yesterday's COVID-19 reporting. Because of a one-time data upload issue, yesterday missed 87 cases. While they’re captured in today’s update, the real day-over-day numbers are 345 new cases on May 14 and 341 today. That means Ontario’s new daily cases continue to trend downward as we expand our COVID-19 testing guidelines to ensure we keep a close eye on any shifts in community spread and identify and contain new cases."
