OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health is reporting 56 more people in Ottawa have tested positive for COVID-19, the lowest daily figure in three weeks.
However, two more residents of Ottawa have died of COVID-19. 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.
Figures from OPH and the province often differ due to different data collection times. The province reported 41 new cases in the city.
