Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reporting one more local COVID-19-related death, but just five new cases in the city.
The local COVID-19 death toll stands at 234 on Monday.
Although the city has now seen 1,901 lab-confirmed cases of the virus, just 16 new ones have been recorded in Ottawa over the last three days. Overall, the local recovery rate of confirmed cases is now up to 79 per cent (1,503).
There are 35 Ottawa residents hospitalized with COVID-19, Monday. A week ago that figure was at 47.
OPH says 20 institutions continue to deal with outbreaks of the virus.
Even though most numbers are trending downward, Ottawa’s Chief Medical Officer of Health says residents need to remain vigilant about distancing measures to ensure the city doesn’t see a second wave of infections.
