OTTAWA -- Ontario health officials are reporting 61 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa on a day when a new high watermark for cases provincewide was reached.
Across Ontario, 1,924 new cases of COVID-19 were reported, surpassing Saturday's new record of 1,859. Fifteen more deaths from COVID-19 have been reported in Ontario.
Local figures from Ottawa Public Health--including outbreaks, active cases, deaths, and hospitalizations--are due at around 12:30 p.m.
On Saturday, OPH figures were far lower than what the province reported. OPH has said "time lag" is the usual culprit for a difference in data between local and provincial health authorities as reports represent only a snapshot in time. TESTING Ontario health officials say 59,251
