COVID-19 hospitalizations remain stable in Ottawa
Ottawa Public Health is reporting one new death linked to COVID-19 in Ottawa this week, while hospitalizations remain stable.
The health unit is now reporting COVID-19 statistics on Tuesdays and Fridays, instead of every weekday.
Since Tuesday, there has been one new death linked to COVID-19 in Ottawa.
There are seven Ottawa residents in hospital with an active COVID-19 infection, unchanged from Tuesday. There is one person in the ICU with an active COVID-19 infection.
OPH hospitalization figures only represent Ottawa residents who are in hospital because of an active case of COVID-19. Local hospitals report higher figures, which include patients who were admitted for reasons other than COVID-19 but have tested positive and patients who are not from Ottawa.
Here is a look at how many COVID-19 patients are in each hospital:
- The Ottawa Hospital: 11 patients
- Queensway Carleton Hospital: Six patients
- Montfort Hospital: Four patients
- CHEO: One patient
Ottawa Public Health is reporting 162 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa over the past three days. Case counts are considered an underrepresentation of the true amount of COVID-19 in the community due to provincial restrictions on who can access a PCR test.
Since the first case of COVID-19 in Ottawa in March 2020, there have been 74,296 laboratory-confirmed cases, including 817 deaths.
