Ottawa sees 23 new COVID-19 cases and zero new deaths Monday
Ottawa Public Health says 23 more people in Ottawa have tested positive for COVID-19.
The public health unit's COVID-19 dashboard now reports a total of 27,449 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa since March 11, 2020, when the first case was announced.
No new deaths from COVID-19 were reported locally on Monday. To date, 585 residents of Ottawa have died due to the virus.
Across the province, health officials reported 447 new confirmed cases and 670 newly-resolved cases. Four more Ontarians have died due to COVID-19. Public Health Ontario added 28 new cases to its total for Ottawa on Monday. Figures from OPH often differ from those provided Public Health Ontario because the two health agencies pull data for their respective daily reports at different times of the day.
Elsewhere in the region, Public Health Ontario reported two additional cases, one in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit and one in the Renfrew County and District Health Unit.
The update from Ottawa Public Health shows an ongoing trend in the improvement of monitoring indicators such as the seven-day average of new cases per 100,000 population, which has been below 20 for three days in a row. Active cases continue to fall and there was a slight drop in the seven-day average for test positivity.
