By Fred Sherwin The Orléans Star The total number of active COVID-19 cases in Ottawa is continuing on a downward trend for the third week in a row. As of June 18, there were 58 active cases in the Nation’s Capital, down from 72 active cases on June 12 and 87 active cases on June 5. Even more encouraging is the fact that there have only been 16 new cases among the general population in Ottawa between June 12 and June 19 and two new cases in senior homes. During that same period of time, Ottawa Public Health conducted 4,504 tests, meaning less than 0.3 per cent tested positive. The number of COVID-19 related hospital-
izations are also continuing on a downward trend, from 31 on June 5 to just three on June 19 and no one has been admitted to an intensive care unit in almost two weeks. Province-wide, the numbers are also going down. As of June 18, there were 2,281 active cases in Ontario. That’s down from 3,918 cases on June 8. The number of hospitalizations has dropped from 603 on June 8 to 331 on June 18 and the number of patients in intensive care units has gone down from 118 on June 8 to 82 on June 18. The downward trend in most regions of the province has allowed the provincial government to move to Phase 2 of its reopening plan.
