OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health is reporting another 16 cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa and no new deaths.
This is the fourth day in a row that OPH has reported a double-digit increase to the total case count and the 24th day in a row that OPH has reported zero new deaths from COVID-19.
OPH reported 11 new cases on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 12 on Saturday.
To date, Ottawa has seen 27,878 laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 593 residents have died.
The number of known active cases is above 70. OPH had reported a low of 21 active cases on July 16, but further case and contact tracing has since shifted that figure to 52 according to the health unit's COVID-19 dashboard.
Daily snapshot reports represent only a moment in time and case and contact management is constantly ongoing.
The weekly incidence rate of new cases per 100,000 population jumped from 5.0 to 6.1 on Sunday.
In the past 30 days, Ottawa Public Health has recorded 19 confirmed cases of the delta variant. To date, no one infected with the delta variant has died.
Ottawa Public Health does not report the vaccination status of any individuals who test positive for COVID-19. According to the Ontario government's latest figures, of 18,685 COVID-19 cases confirmed in Ottawa between Dec. 14, 2020 and July 24, 2021, only 130, or 0.7 per cent, were considered "breakthrough" cases in fully vaccinated individuals. Another 669 cases, or 3.6 per cent of all cases in that timeframe, were in people who were considered only partially vaccinated.
There is one active COVID-19 outbreak in the city.
Across Ontario, officials confirmed 423 new cases of COVID-19, the highest figure in the province since mid-June. There are 115 people in hospital ICUs across Ontario with COVID-19. Another six Ontarians have died due to COVID-19 and 232 more cases are considered resolved. Public Health Ontario added 19 cases to its total for Ottawa on Sunday. Figures from OPH often differ from Public Health Ontario's because the two health agencies pull data for their daily snapshot reports at different times of the day.
Around the rest of eastern Ontario, Public Health Ontario reported three new cases, two in the Eastern Ontario Health Unit and one in Hastings Prince Edward Public Health's region.
