OTTAWA -- Ontario health officials are reporting 41 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa, the lowest number of new cases in the city so far this year.
It comes amid a drop of cases provincewide, with fewer than 2,000 new cases reported across Ontario, due in part to a technical issue in Toronto. "Due to a technical issue, Toronto Public Health could not report an undetermined number of new cases today, resulting in an underestimation of the daily counts," Public Health Ontario said.
Updated figures from Ottawa Public Health are due at around 12:30 p.m. Figures from OPH and the province often differ due to different data collection times. This is a breaking news story.
