    One more person has died from COVID-19 in Ottawa and three more have been hospitalized with the virus, Ottawa Public Health reported Monday.

    The health unit also reported 968 new cases on Monday, but with limited PCR testing available in Ontario, the numbers are likely an undercount.

    The number of active cases in Ottawa increased to nearly 9,000, and the city's positivity rate is above 36 per cent.

    There are 24 people in hospital with COVID-19, including four in intensive care.

    Ottawa's COVID-19 death toll is now 624.

    There are about 622 COVID-19 cases per every 100,000 residents in the city. The city continues to distribute thousands of booster doses each day. As of Monday, 283,503 third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Ottawa.

    Provincewide, officials recorded more than 13,500 new infections.

    Premier Doug Ford announced sweeping new restrictions in Ontario on Monday aimed at slowing the spread of the Omicron variant, including closing schools until Jan. 17, banning indoor dining, closing gyms and introducing new capacity limits.

    The province has advised people who have symptoms of COVID-19 to assume they have it and stay home. Those people are not being accounted for in the daily case counts.

    OTTAWA'S KEY COVID-19 STATISTICS

    • COVID-19 cases per 100,000 (Dec 26 to Jan. 1): 622.6 (up from 566.5)
    • Positivity rate in Ottawa (Dec. 27 to Jan. 2): 36.3 per cent 
    • Reproduction number (Seven day average): 0.71

    Reproduction values greater than 1 indicate the virus is spreading and each case infects more than one contact. If it is less than 1, it means spread is slowing.
