Share

Ottawa Public Health is reporting another 55 COVID-19 cases in Ottawa, the highest daily case count since Oct. 10, when the daily snapshot included 58 cases.

To date, OPH has logged 31,661 lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the city since the pandemic began. No new deaths were reported on Sunday, keeping the city's pandemic death toll at 614 residents.

The number of people with known active cases ticked up after a slight decline on Saturday and there is one more person in hospital with COVID-19.

Ottawa's rolling seven-day average is 38.6, down from 41.6 one week ago, but up from 30.7 four weeks ago.

Across the province, health officials confirmed another 741 cases of COVID-19, marking a fourth straight day with daily case counts above 700. Three more Ontarians have died due to COVID-19 and 590 previously reported cases are now considered resolved.

The province added 48 cases to its total for Ottawa on Sunday, which is 23 cases behind OPH's reporting. 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.

OTTAWA'S KEY COVID-19 STATISTICS
