The death toll in Ontario due to COVID-19 has been modified to 12,227, which is down from the previous day as 411 deaths were removed.
The Ontario government announced earlier this week that it was going to change and update how it reports deaths to be consistent with categorization from the World Health Organization.
The province said it will exclude deaths where a person was infected with COVID-19 but the virus did not cause or contribute to the fatality.
Officials said the change would take effect Friday and noted that deaths unrelated to COVID-19 were “significantly higher” in the most recent wave of the virus.
