OTTAWA -- Ottawa has set a new one-day record for COVID-19 cases with 210 new cases on Friday, as Ottawa Public Health data addresses a discrepancy in data compared with Ontario health reporting.
Ottawa Public Health reported 210 cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa on Friday, along with one new death linked to the virus. Since the first case of COVID-19 in Ottawa on March 11, there have been 10,960 cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa, including 395 deaths.
Across Ontario, a record 4,294 cases of COVID-19 were reported on Friday. The Ministry of Health says there was a data upload delay at Toronto Public Health and therefore approximately 450 additional cases were included in Friday's report.
