ACTIVE CASES

The number of known active cases in Ottawa fell slightly in Sunday's report.

Ottawa Public Health is reporting 200 active cases, down nine from Saturday.

The drop in cases was driven by a large increase in the number of resolved cases. OPH says 2,480 cases are considered resolved, which accounts for 84.2 per cent of all known cases to date.

The number of active cases is the number of total, laboratory-confirmed cases minus the numbers of resolved cases and deaths. A case is considered resolved 14 days after known symptom onset or positive test result if the case does not result in death.

Ottawa Public Health continues to say the number of actual infections in the city could be five to 30 times greater than the number of lab-confirmed cases.
