Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reporting 78 more confirmed cases of COVID-19 as officials examine whether the dwindling turnout at testing centres may be skewing certain results. According to OPH, 91 more cases are resolved and one more person has died from COVID-19. That means 6,166 Ottawa residents have now tested positive for COVID-19, including 745 known active case, 5,117 resolved cases and 304 deaths. Officials managing testing in Ottawa have raised the possibility that confirmed case counts may be dropping because fewer people are getting tested. Elsewhere, there are 49 more cases in western Quebec, which saw a spike in COVID-19 hospitalizations from 11 to 17 on Monday.
