Ottawa Public Health reported five deaths from COVID-19 in the city in the last week, as viral levels are appearing to plateau.
In its COVID-19 dashboard update on Friday, OPH listed 871 total deaths, up from 866 the week prior.
The number of laboratory-confirmed cases increased by 456 in the last week, though the actual case count is likely higher due to restrictions on who can receive a COVID-19 lab test. The testing positivity rate among those who are able to be tested, including people living in long-term care homes, is around 14 per cent.
Hospitalizations for active infections of COVID-19 have been on the decline in August. As of Friday, OPH reported 22 residents were hospitalized specifically because of an active case of COVID-19, with one in the ICU. That’s down from 27 last week. ICU levels remain stable.
OPH hospitalization figures only represent Ottawa residents who are in hospital because of an active case of COVID-19. Local hospitals report higher figures, which include patients who were admitted for reasons other than COVID-19 but have tested positive and patients who are not from Ottawa.
Here is a look at how many COVID-19 patients are in each hospital:
