Testing does not track down all cases in a community because the mild symptoms most people have aren’t distinguishable from common colds and because public health can’t test large numbers of people. The province’s daily summary is based on data reported by the 34 public health units across Ontario and pulled from the Public Health Information System at 4 p.m. the previous day
