OPH reports 55 new COVID-19 cases, 1 new hospitalization, 0 new deaths
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.
