“Back to basics” to limit the spread of COVID-19

As Ottawa faces a spike in COVID-19 cases, the medical officer of health encourages everyone to get back to basics to limit the spread of COVID-19 in Ottawa.

Ottawa has seen 13 straight days of double-digit increases in COVID-19 cases. The increase in cases has been anticipated as a result of opening businesses and other sectors of the economy, but these numbers are concerning.

The cases do not appear to be linked to the implementation of Stage 2 and Stage 3 but linked to social behavior and indoor gatherings.

The medical officer of health encourages everyone to get back to basics to limit the spread of COVID-19 in Ottawa.

All age groups under the age of 80 have seen a five-fold increase in COVID-19 cases since the start of July.

Ottawa moved into Stage 3 of Ontario’s COVID-19 reopening plan on July 17 including allowing dine-in at restaurants, and gyms and movie theaters to open. Bar patios and restaurants and malls reopened as part of Stage 2 in June.
