Public health reported more than 1,200 cases over the weekend, which is considered an underestimate because not everyone is eligible for testing to confirm whether they have COVID-19.

There were 28 outbreaks in congregate settings and eight outbreaks in hospitals.

The region's vaccination dashboard showed 77.28 per cent of all residents in the community have two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

As well, more than 50 per cent of children aged five to 11 have received their first dose of the vaccine now, with 8.69 per cent having received two doses.

The region does not give a total percentage of people with third doses, but does break it down by age category in a graph on its website.

It shows, for example, that 84.46 per cent of people aged 80 and older have the third dose while 30.13 per cent of 18 to 29-year-olds have a third dose.
