The Ontario Government reported 43 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa on Friday. Earlier this week, Ottawa Public Health said there are "occasional discrepancies" in the reporting of data between the Ontario Government and local health units because OPH counts a case for whom they have a positive lab result, whereas the ministry will only report a case once it's confirmed in the OHP database.
Today is the final day of the modified 28-day Stage 2 in Ottawa, with restrictions on indoor dining at bars and restaurants, gyms, fitness centres, sports teams and movie theatres.
Ontario announced the new restrictions on Oct. 9, the day 126 new cases of COVID-19 were reported in Ottawa. A record 183 cases had been reported in Ottawa on Oct. 8.
