*York Region has updated the daily reproductive number (Rt) data to compare Alpha and Delta variant cases; previously, the Rt data compared variants of concern and SARS-CoV-2 (reference strain). The Rt estimates the average number of people infected for every one person with COVID-19; when it is greater than one, the number of cases is expected to increase; when Rt is less than one, it is expected cases will decrease and transmissions will slow.
