OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health's latest reporting shows there are 41 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa and nine new deaths Saturday, but it also shows the city has passed a milestone in terms of recoveries.

There have been 1,644 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa since the first case was confirmed on March 11, but OPH says 1,019 cases are now considered resolved. That accounts for 62 per cent of all cases to date.

The number of resolved cases jumped to a greater degree than the number of new cases, with 54 more resolved cases in Saturday's epidemiology report compared to Friday's.

OPH says there are 468 active cases in the city as of its latest report, which includes the most current information available from the COVID-19 Ottawa Database (COD) as of 2:00 pm May 8, 2020 and the integrated Public Health Information System (iPHIS) as of 4:00 p.m. May 8, 2020.

The nine new deaths bring the total number of deaths from COVID-19 in Ottawa to 157. The median age of all reported deaths is 87. The youngest person to die of COVID-19 in Ottawa was 39, and the oldest was 105. 53 per cent of the victims have been women.

One health care worker has died of COVID-19 in Ottawa.

Institutional outbreaks

There are 23 ongoing outbreaks at long-term care homes, retirement homes, and hospitals in Ottawa, with 15 of those 23 being in long-term care homes. The majority of COVID-19 deaths in Ottawa have been in the long-term care home setting. An outbreak is declared as soon as a single case of COVID-19 is confirmed in either a resident or a staff member.

Here is the latest information on outbreaks at long-term care homes in Ottawa. According to OPH, these data are self-reported by the homes to Ontario's Ministry of Long-term Care. Daily case and death figures may not immediately match the numbers posted elsewhere due to lags in reporting time. This information was collected May 8 at 3:30 p.m.

OPH updates the data on outbreaks at long-term care facilities daily.
