Note: Ongoing outbreaks include all outbreaks that are ‘Open’ in CCM plus without a ‘Declared Over Date’ recorded, or where the outbreak started more than five months ago, even for outbreaks where the Outbreak Status value selected in CCM/iPHIS is 'OPEN'. The start of the outbreak is determined by the onset date of first case, or if missing the outbreak reported date, or else if that is also missing, then the outbreak created date. Data Source: CCM plus


Technical Notes

Data Sources The data for this report were based on:

Information extracted from the Ontario Ministry of Health (Ministry) integrated Public Health Information System (iPHIS) database for Toronto Public Health as of January 2, 2021 at 1 p.m.

Information successfully uploaded to the Ministry from Local Systems: Toronto Public Health (Coronavirus Rapid Entry System) CORES as of January 2, 2021 at 2 p.m.

Information successfully extracted from the Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM) for all other PHUs by PHO as of January 2, 2021 at 1 p.m.

CCM and CCM plus (which includes CCM, iPHIS, and CORES) are dynamic disease reporting systems, which allow ongoing updates to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM and the Local Systems represent a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent reports.

Ontario population projection data for 2020 were sourced from Ministry, IntelliHEALTH Ontario. Data were extracted on November 26, 2019.

COVID-19 test data were based on information from The Provincial COVID-19 Diagnostics Network, reported by member microbiology laboratories.

Data Caveats The data only represent cases reported to public health units and recorded in CCM plus. As a

result, all counts will be subject to varying degrees of underreporting due to a variety of factors, such as disease awareness and medical care seeking behaviours, which may depend on severity of illness, clinical practice, changes in laboratory testing, and reporting behaviours.

Lags in CCM plus data entry due to weekend staffing may result in lower case counts than would otherwise be recorded.

Only cases meeting the confirmed case classification as listed in the MOH COVID-19 case definition are included in the report counts from CCM plus. This includes persons with a positive detection of serum/plasma immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, which was added to the confirmed case definition on August 6, 2020.

The number of tests performed does not reflect the number of specimens or persons tested. More than one test may be performed per specimen or per person. As such, the percentage of tests that were positive does not necessarily translate to the number of specimens or persons testing positive.

Reported date is the date the case was reported to the public health unit.

http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/publichealth/coronavirus/2019_guidance.aspxhttp://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/publichealth/coronavirus/2019_guidance.aspx


Case episode date is based on an estimate of the best date of disease onset. This date is calculated based on either the date of symptom onset, specimen collection/test date, or the date reported to the public health unit.

Resolved cases are determined only for COVID-19 cases that have not died. Cases that have died are considered fatal and not resolved. The following cases are classified as resolved:

Cases that are reported as ‘recovered’ in CCM

Cases that are not hospitalized and are 14 days past their episode date

Cases that are currently hospitalized (no hospital end date entered) and have a status of ‘closed’ in CCM (indicating public health unit follow-up is complete) and are 14 days past their symptom onset date or specimen collection date

Hospitalization includes all cases for which a hospital admission date was reported at the time of data extraction. It includes cases that have been discharged from hospital as well as cases that are currently hospitalized. Emergency room visits are not included in the number of reported hospitalizations.

ICU admission includes all cases for which an ICU admission date was reported at the time of data extraction. It is a subset of the count of hospitalized cases. It includes cases that have been treated or that are currently being treated in an ICU.

Orientation of case counts by geography is based on the diagnosing health unit (DHU). DHU refers to the case's public health unit of residence at the time of illness onset and not necessarily the location of exposure. Cases for which the DHU was reported as MOH (to signify a case that is not a resident of Ontario) have been excluded from the analyses.

Likely source of acquisition is determined by examining the epidemiologic link and epidemiologic link status fields in CCM and local systems. If no epidemiologic link is identified in those fields the risk factor fields are examined to determine whether a case travelled, was associated with a confirmed outbreak, was a contact of a case, had no known epidemiological link (sporadic community transmission) or was reported to have an unknown source/no information was reported. Some cases may have no information reported if the case is untraceable, was lost to follow-up or referred to FNIHB. Cases with multiple risk factors were assigned to a single likely acquisition source group which was determined hierarchically in the following order:

For cases with an episode date on or after April 1, 2020: Outbreak-associated > close contact of a confirmed case > travel > no known epidemiological link > information missing or unknown

For cases with an episode date before April 1, 2020: Travel > outbreak-associated > close contact of a confirmed case > no known epidemiological link > information missing or unknown

Deaths are determined by using the outcome field in CCM plus. Any case marked ‘Fatal’ is included in the deaths data. The CCM field Type of Death is not used to further categorize the data.


The date of death is determined using the outcome date field for cases marked as ‘Fatal’ in the outcome field.

COVID-19 cases from CCM plus for which the Classification and/or Disposition was reported as ENTERED IN ERROR, DOES NOT MEET DEFINITION, IGNORE, DUPLICATE, or any variation on these values have been excluded. The provincial case count for COVID-19 includes cases that are counted once across all systems from which the case data are obtained. Duplicate records may exist if these records were not identified and resolved prior to data upload to the Ministry.

Ongoing outbreaks include all outbreaks that are ‘Open’ in CCM plus without a ‘Declared Over Date’ recorded, or where the outbreak started more than five months ago, even for outbreaks where the Outbreak Status value selected in CCM/iPHIS is 'OPEN'. The start of the outbreak is determined by the onset date of first case, or if missing the outbreak reported date, or else if that is also missing, then the outbreak created date.

‘Long-term care home residents’ includes cases that reported ‘Yes’ to the risk factor ‘Resident of a long-term care home’; or ‘Yes’ to the risk factor ‘Resident of nursing home or other chronic care facility’ and reported to be part of an outbreak assigned as a long-term care home (via the Outbreak number or case comments field); or were reported to be part of an outbreak assigned as a long-term care home (via the outbreak number or case comments field) with an age over 70 years and did not report ‘No’ to the risk factors ‘Resident of long-term care home’ or ‘Resident of nursing home or other chronic care facility’. ‘Long-term care home residents’ excludes cases that reported ‘Yes’ to any of the health care worker occupational risk factors.

The ‘health care workers’ variable includes cases that reported ‘Yes’ to any of the occupation of health care worker, doctor, nurse, dentist, dental hygienist, midwife, other medical technicians, personal support worker, respiratory therapist, first responder.

‘Health care workers associated with long-term care outbreaks’ includes ‘health care workers’ reported to be part of an outbreak assigned as a long-term care home (via the outbreak number or case comments field). Excludes cases that reported ‘Yes’ to risk factors ‘Resident of long-term care home’ or ‘Resident of nursing home or other chronic care facility’ and ‘Yes’ to the calculated ‘health care workers’ variable.

Percent change is calculated by taking the difference between the current period (i.e., daily count or sum of the daily count over a 7-day period) and previous period (i.e., daily count or sum of the daily count over a 7-day period), divided by the previous period.
