OTTAWA -- The deadliest COVID-19 outbreak at an Ottawa long-term care home is officially over.
Ottawa Public Health declared the COVID-19 outbreak over at Carlingview Manor on Carling Avenue on Thursday, June 18. The declaration means there are no active cases of COVID-19 among staff or residents at the long-term care home.
The COVID-19 outbreak was declared at the 303-bed facility on April 7.
A total of 170 residents and 89 staff members at Carlingview Manor tested positive for COVID-19. According to the health unit, 59 residents of Carlingview Manor died due to COVID-19.

"We want to express our gratitude and appreciation for the support we have received from the families of our residents, the wider Ottawa community, Ottawa Public Health, Queensway-Carleton Hospital and the Champlain Health Region during this extremely challenging outbreak."
In early June, Councillor Theresa Kavanagh called on the Ontario Government to bring in new management at Carlingview Manor.
