OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health is reporting 38 more people in Ottawa have tested positive for COVID-19 and two more people have died.
The lower daily case count, combined with a higher number of newly resolved cases, reduced Ottawa's number of known active cases after two days of increases, but other weekly trends are still showing upward signs.
The number of new cases in the past seven days per 100,000 residents is on the rise, as is the estimated reproduction number.
The testing positivity rate remained stable. Provincially, health officials reported 1,265 new COVID-19 cases across Ontario, along with 33 new deaths and 1,700 newly resolved cases.
