COVID Ottawa: Two new deaths on Tuesday, hospitalizations are accelerating

Ottawa Public Health reports two new deaths from COVID-19 in the city on Tuesday.

This brings the city’s pandemic death toll to 775.

DPO data shows an increase in the number of people hospitalized with active COVID-19 infection, with 37, up from 31 reported on Monday. There are four people in intensive care with an active infection, up from five previously.

OPH hospitalization figures only represent Ottawa residents who are hospitalized with an active case of COVID-19. Local hospitals are reporting higher numbers, which include patients who were admitted for reasons other than COVID-19 but tested positive and patients who are not from Ottawa.

Here is an overview of the number of COVID-19 patients in each hospital:

  • The Ottawa Hospital: 96 patients
  • Queensway Carleton Hospital: 15 patients
  • Montfort Hospital: 12 patients
  • CHEO: Seven patients

At Monday’s Board of Health meeting, Medical Officer of Health Dr. Vera Etches said signs of the sixth wave were stabilizing in Ottawa. They don’t increase, but they don’t decrease very quickly either. She noted a steady number of new hospital admissions for COVID-19 over the past two weeks and a steady level of people testing positive.

The COVID-19 Wastewater Monitoring Project shows a slight decline over the past day after a brief plateau. The seven-day average virus signal appears to have peaked on April 11, but remains well above the levels seen in any previous wave.

The number of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Ontario is 1,730, with intensive care admissions stable at 219. Another fourteen people in Ontario have died from COVID-19. Five additional deaths where COVID-19 contributed but was not the underlying cause of death were also recorded, according to provincial data.
