Today’s five-day COVID-19 test positivity rate is 14.8 per cent provincially. As of 9:30am on February 25, 2022, 313 new cases of the virus have been identified. The province estimates that actual case numbers are eight to 10 times higher than reported due to the rapid spread of the omicron variant, which has led to many cases going unreported.
