The Chief Medical Officer of Health in Ontario says the seventh wave of COVID-19 in the province has peaked.

Dr. Kieran Moore says key indicators such as hospital admissions and the COVID-19 wastewater signal are declining.

Ontario's Public Health Agency says COVID-19 case rates declined in 22 of 34 health units in Ontario for the week ending July 30, with a slight percentage decrease in positives over the week, and hospital admissions fell to 306 compared to 463 the previous week.

Forty-six COVID-19 deaths were reported for the week ending July 30, compared to 75 the previous week.

Moore also says he expects the risks and overall impact on the health sector to continue to decline through August.
