**Data note from York Region Public Health: Hospitalization data is being provided weekdays as of Jan. 24, indicating all COVID-19 positive individuals in York Region hospitals and is not limited to York Region residents. The data includes individuals hospitalized for COVID-19 symptoms and those who may be in hospital for another reason but also tested positive for COVID-19. Hospitalization data is pulled from the same data source York Region hospitals use for their public reporting, however numbers may differ slightly based on the timing of data refreshes. 

With the rapid transmission of Omicron and recent provincial changes in testing eligibility and case management, case counts and outbreaks reported on the interactive dashboard are an underestimate of the true number of individuals with COVID-19 and outbreaks in York Region. Case counts and trends should be interpreted with caution.
