Ottawa's top doctor estimates 4,000 cases of COVID-19 in the city
Ottawa's Medical Officer of Health says there is laboratory confirmation of community transmission in Ottawa.ottawa.ctvnews.ca
Estimated 4,000 cases
The Medical Officer of Health said Sunday that based on modelling data and the rate of transmission, “we now estimate there may be up to 4,000 cases of COVID-19 in our community.”
Dr. Etches warned the forecast for infection shows a doubling in the number of cases in Ottawa every three days.
“The doubling time, we’re seeing is sometimes down to three days, every three days now. By this time next week, it could be 16,000” cases in Ottawa.
Dr. Etches acknowledged the lab confirmed COVID-19 numbers are numbers from the past, due to delays with processing the test results.
“The challenge is the test results we get are from what happened in the past. People seem to fixate on the lab confirmed cases. What I’m using the estimate for is tell people, clarify, now it’s here and it’s here significantly and the actions we need to take are now."
16,000, 我不信!
