OPH adds one new COVID-19 case in Ottawa Sunday
Ottawa Public Health is reporting a single new COVID-19 case in the city on Sunday.
Since the pandemic began, the city has seen 27,775 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19. No new deaths were reported Sunday, leaving the city's death toll from COVID-19 at 593 residents.
There were no new resolved cases reported Sunday. The active case count rose by one.
Across the province, Public Health Ontario reported 172 newly confirmed infections and said two more Ontarians have died due to COVID-19. Another 144 cases are now considered resolved. The provincial total includes two cases for Ottawa. Figures from OPH often differ from Public Health Ontario's because the two health agencies pull data for their respective daily snapshot reports at different times of the day.
Three new cases were reported elsewhere in the region. There are two new cases in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit and one new case in the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health region. One case has been removed from the total count for the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit.
Sunday did mark a slight decline in the incidence rate of new cases per 100,000 population, which is back below 4 after climbing for the past few days.
There is one COVID-19 patient in hospital and there are zero active COVID-19 outbreaks in Ottawa.
OTTAWA'S KEY COVID-19 STATISTICS
Ottawa is now in Step 3 of Ontario's Roadmap to Reopen plan.
Ottawa Public Health data:
- COVID-19 cases per 100,000 (July 17 to July 23): 3.9 (down from 4.4)
- Positivity rate in Ottawa (July 16 to July 22): 0.5 per cent (unchanged)
- Reproduction number (seven day average): 1.21 (up from 1.09)
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.
