The latest
The weekly respiratory update from Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is a familiar one.
COVID-19 and RSV are seen as low or moderate. Flu wastewater readings and hospitalizations, though dropping, remain very high as this flu season stretches into spring.
Health officials recommend people cover coughs, wear masks, keep hands clean, stay home when sick and keep up with COVID and flu vaccines to help protect themselves and vulnerable people.
OPH says the city’s health-care institutions remain at high risk from respiratory illnesses, as they’ve been since the end of August. This will be the case until respiratory trends are low again.
