Ottawa Public Health is reporting five more deaths from COVID-19 in its Tuesday update and a slight increase in the positivity rate for influenza.

This brings the ongoing pandemic’s death toll to 965 residents of Ottawa, including 355 so far this year.

COVID-19 wastewater monitoring is showing a steady decline in the viral signal through November. However, OPH data show a spike in testing positivity in early December, which includes tests within long-term care facilities. The seven-day average test positivity on Dec. 4 was 14.2 per cent, up from 9.9 per cent on Dec. 1. The number of tests performed was much lower than average, which may have contributed to the result.

The wastewater monitoring project now also includes influenza and RSV reporting, which indicate a steady rise in influenza through November followed by a drop, and what appears to be a plateau in RSV in the final week of the month.RSV wastewater viral signal for Ottawa. Data updated Dec. 6, 2022. New influenza data for the week of Nov. 27 to Dec. 3 shows only a slight increase in testing positivity and a slightly smaller number of new lab-confirmed cases. OPH is reporting testing positivity of 28 per cent last week, up from 27.5 per cent the week prior. There were 74 new lab-confirmed cases of influenza A last week, down slightly from 76 cases the week before alongside one case of influenza B.

OPH hospitalization figures only represent Ottawa residents who are in hospital because of an active case of COVID-19. Local hospitals report higher figures, which include patients who were admitted for reasons other than COVID-19 but have tested positive and patients who are not from Ottawa.Montfort Hospital: 8 patientsSince the first case of COVID-19 in Ottawa in March 2020, there have been 86,681 total cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa, including 975 deaths.

Ottawa calls for project proposals that help internationally trained health workersThe federal government is putting $90 million toward projects that remove barriers preventing qualified new Canadians from working in health care. Good idea 👍🏻 How about hiring back the thousands of HCW’s that have been fired as a result of the foolish mandates!!!! How many people know that BC is one of the few places on earth that has not re-hired the HacW’s that were fired.
