Ottawa Public Health reported five new cases of COVID-19 on the first day of summer, bringing the city's total to 2,054 confirmed cases since the start of the pandemic. There are now only 58 active, confirmed cases of the respiratory illness, according to the public health unit, but models estimate the actual number of cases in the city is likely much higher. No new deaths were reported by the public health authority Saturday. There have also been another 31 deaths across the province from the virus, which is nearly three times as many deaths as was reported the day before. However, according to data collected by CBC News from regional public health units puts the current total number of deaths across Ontario at 2,604 as of Saturday afternoon, an increase of 26 deaths since Friday.
