According to Ottawa Public Health's daily COVID-19 dashboard update, there have been a total of 2,855 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa since the first case was confirmed on March 11.

No new deaths were reported on Tuesday, leaving the death toll from COVID-19 at 266 residents.

ACTIVE CASES

The number of known active cases rose Tuesday.

OPH says it is aware of 166 active cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa, ten more than in Monday's report.

The number of resolved cases rose by six on Tuesday to 2,423 or 84.9 per cent of all known COVID-19 cases to date.

The number of active cases of COVID-19 is the number of total lab-confirmed cases minus the numbers of resolved cases and deaths. A case is considered resolved 14 days after known symptom onset or positive test result.

OPH continues to say the nubmer of actual infections in the community could be five to 30 times greater than the number of lab-confirmed infections.

CASES BY AGE

Here is a breakdown of all known COVID-19 cases by age category. Please note than one case from Monday that was listed as "unknown" has been reassigned to its proper age category, so the new cases will add up to 17, rather than 16.

A single laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in a resident or staff member of a long-term care home, retirement home or shelter triggers an outbreak response, according to Ottawa Public Health. In childcare settings, a single confirmed, symptomatic case in a staff member, home daycare provider, or child triggers an outbreak.

A previous version of this article said there was only 1 active case in the 0-9 age category. That was a typo. There are 19 active cases.
