Wastewater virus detection levels are high and decreasing, while the per cent of lab tests coming back positive is high and increasing.
Ottawa’s wastewater virus detection levels are very high and decreasing, while the per cent of lab tests coming back positive is very high and increasing, it said in a weekly “snapshot.”
Wearing masks, getting boosted and staying home when sick are “simple actions … that work” to limit the spread of the virus and reduce its impact on individuals, the people around them and the health-care system and local businesses, Ottawa Public Health said. There were 492 new cases in Tuesday’s update, although testing is limited to certain groups, with 44 Ottawa residents in hospital due to active infections, one of them in intensive care.
Meanwhile, Public Health Ontario reported 61 additional deaths from the virus in the week of July 17-23, up from 46 deaths in the previous week.
