Ottawa Public Health is reporting six new COVID-19 deaths in the city in the last week, bringing the city’s death toll from the pandemic to 825 residents. ottnews
OPH has reported 215 COVID-19 deaths in Ottawa so far this year, compared to 228 in all of 2021 and 381 in 2020.
The OPH COVID-19 dashboard only updates on Tuesdays and Fridays and did not update on Canada Day, and so the figures provided Tuesday include a week’s worth of data. The number of residents in hospital because of an active case of COVID-19 is up to 17. Last week there were 10 residents hospitalized because of COVID-19. There are two residents in intensive care, up from one.
To date, OPH has confirmed 73,359 cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Since COVID-19 testing remains restricted, lab-confirmed cases are considered an underrepresentation of the true amount of viral transmission in the community.
