ACTIVE CASES

The number of known active cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa rose Monday, as the number of resolved cases lagged behind the number of new cases.

Ottawa Public Health is aware of 156 active cases of COVID-19 in the city, a 16-case jump compared to Sunday.

The number of resolved cases rose by eight to 2,417 cases, or 85.1 per cent of all known cases to date.

The number of active cases 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.

CASES BY AGE

Fifteen of the 24 new cases reported in Ottawa on Monday were in people under the age of 40, though zero cases were reported in children under 10. One additional case is listed as “unknown” meaning OPH has not confirmed the person’s age at this time.
