The agency noted that, “due to ongoing data system changeovers, data for new COVID-19 hospitalizations is not included in this week’s snapshot.” OPH noted a total of 40 ongoing COVID outbreaks in Ottawa, considered a moderate level and slowly dropping. OPH continued to stress the importance of wearing a well-fitted mask when in indoor and/or crowded public spaces.“It all matters. And it all helps,” OPH says.
