The figures for eastern Ontario come from Ontario's daily epidemiologic summary.

ACTIVE CASES

The number of known active cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa is now above 400 for the first time since May.

OPH says it is aware of 401 active cases of the COVID-19 in the city, up from 362 on Tuesday.

Twenty cases are newly considered resolved, bringing the recovery rate to 2,773 or 80.4 per cent of all known cases to date.

The number of active cases is the number of total, laboratory-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 and the case is not a fatality.

Ottawa Public Health continues to say the actual number of infections in the city could be between five and 30 times greater than the number of laboratory-confirmed infections.
