Ottawa Public Health recorded 30 new cases and one new death linked to COVID-19 on Monday. We are currently treating 284 active cases and 15 hospitalizations, numbers that were trending downward in the final weeks of October. As the numbers in Ontario also start to trend upward, the Scientific Director of Ontario’s Science Advisory Table says the second honeymoon is over, and fears capacity limits might have to be revisited down the road. Dr. Peter Juni also adds, while we aren’t seeing dramatic scenarios unfold in our hospitals, the current COVID trajectory could pose problems if we don’t fine-tune our approach. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
