Oct 11, 2022

The latest Ottawa update
Ottawa Public Health (OPH) said late last week COVID-19 levels were high going into Thanksgiving weekend as another pandemic wave rises. Cold and flu season has also begun.

Experts recommend staying home when sick, gathering outside, considering wearing masks indoors and in crowded outdoor spaces, and getting the added protection of a COVID vaccine, including the updated bivalent booster available to adults.

While COVID-19 vaccines and previous infection give some protection, subvariants continue to emerge.

Wastewater

The weekly average level of coronavirus in Ottawa’s wastewater has been high and rose further at the start of October.

As of Oct. 6, the average is about 13 times higher than it was at this time last year.
