Ottawa Public Health (OPH) added a dozen more to its tally of confirmed COVID-19 cases Thursday, pointing to a welcome trend after last week's spike. To date, Ottawa has had 3,163 confirmed cases of the respiratory illness including 226 active, 2,670 resolved and 267 deaths linked to COVID-19. There are no new cases at the West End Villa long-term care home, currently the scene of Ottawa's worst institutional outbreak. Provincewide, 170 new cases of COVID-19 were reported Thursday, so Ottawa's daily tally is once again proportionate to its population. Quebec added 188 new cases to its count as the province's premier gave police the power to fine people not wearing masks in indoor public settings, starting Saturday.
