OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health is reporting 11 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa on Saturday.

The figures come from OPH's daily COVID-19 dashboard update.

The cases reported in Ottawa are among 106 reported provincewide on Saturday.

Ontario's daily epidemiologic update reported 12 cases in Ottawa today. Yesterday, Ontario reported seven cases while OPH reported eight, meaning 19 cases were reported by both levels of government in the past two days.

According to OPH, there have been 2,698 total laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa residents since the first case was confirmed on March 11.

There are 11 people in the hospital, with two in intensive care, meaning no change from Friday's report.

ACTIVE CASES

The number of active cases fell for the third day in a row, continuing an overall trend since the start of the month.

OPH says there are 118 known active cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa, nine fewer cases than in Friday's report.

OPH added 20 more cases to their list of resolved cases, meaning 2,316 have been declared resolved since the pandemic began.
