OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health is reporting 48 more people in Ottawa have tested positive for COVID-19, a noticeably smaller number than reported by provincial officials.
Across Ontario, 1,859 new cases of COVID-19 were reported, including 72 in Ottawa, according to Ontario's daily epidemiologic summary.
20 more people across Ontario with COVID-19 have died. The number of new people testing positive for COVID-19 in Ontario marks a new one-day record high.
However, the update from Ottawa Public Health's COVID-19 dashboard listed 48 new cases of COVID-19. The figures shared by the province and by OPH sometimes differ by one or two and not nearly by this much.
