The Ontario health ministry is also reporting 23 more deaths as well as 38 more hospitalizations related to the virus. Using data from local public health units, CBC News has counted a total of 1,997 deaths in the province as of Monday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the number of tests carried out on Sunday dropped, with 9,155 completed, compared to more than 16,000 on Saturday.

Shops get ready for reopening

Ontario will enter its first stage of reopening on Tuesday, lifting restrictions on certain retailers and on the construction industry, as well as on some parts of the health-care system.

Retail stores outside of shopping malls with street entrances can begin reopening with physical distancing measures in place.

Also opening up: pet care services, such as grooming and training, and regular veterinary appointments.

The Ontario government is expected to announce on Tuesday when schools and child-care centres might be able to reopen.
