For the second day in a row, Ottawa's number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases has hit double digits — part of a recent surge health officials say is linked to young people. Another 16 cases of COVID-19 were reported by Ottawa Public Health on Sunday, following a similarly large spike of 19 cases on Saturday. While COVID-19 cases in Ottawa "do cross all age groups," more than four in 10 recent cases involve people younger than 30, said Dr. Vera Etches, Ottawa's chief medical officer, Sunday morning. "So long as we're staying two metres apart and wearing masks, I think we'll all be OK in the end," he said. Ontario's Ministry of Health reported 164 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday morning.
