COVID-19 in Ottawa: Weekly roundup

[guest]

The last roundup email​

As of Wednesday, September 29, the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Public Health have administered 1,606,633 doses of COVID-19 vaccine and we have almost 85% of our population over the age of 12 fully vaccinated.

As news and updates become less frequent, we can now discontinue this weekly roundup of COVID news and information. We will still send important updates to this email list as they happen. We simply will not be sending a weekly summary report every Friday.

For the most current information, follow the City of Ottawa on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Ottawa Public Health will always have the latest official news and updates on their website and social media channels. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Thank you for your interest and helping to keep Ottawa safe and healthy!
