OTTAWA -- Ottawa Public Health says 59 more people in Ottawa have tested positive for COVID-19 and one more person has died.

According to OPH's COVID-19 dashboard, there have been 14,007 total laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa since the pandemic began and 433 residents have died.

There was no update from Ontario health officials today due to the Family Day holiday.

Ottawa Public Health is also reporting an increase in the number of known active cases in the city for the fifth day in a row after active cases hit a 2021 low of 402 on Feb. 10.

The number of people in hospital has also increased, but remains below 20.

This is the final day of a stay-at-home order for Ottawa. Starting Tuesday, Ottawa will return to the "Orange-Restrict" level under Ontario's colour-coded COVID-19 framework. 

OTTAWA'S COVID-19 KEY STATISTICS

Ottawa Public Health will be moved to the "Orange-Restrict" status under Ontario's COVID-19 framework at 12:01 a.m. Feb. 16.

Ottawa Public Health data:

• COVID-19 cases per 100,000 (previous seven days): 28.5 (up from 26.0 cases on Sunday and 27.6 cases on Saturday)
• Positivity rate in Ottawa: 1.6 per cent (Feb. 8-14)
• Reproduction number: 1.00 (seven day average)

Reproduction values greater than 1 indicate the virus is spreading and each case infects more than one contact. If it is less than 1, it means spread is slowing.

The Orange-Restrict category of Ontario's COVID-19 framework includes a weekly rate of cases per 100,000 between 25 to 39.9, a percent positivity of 1.3 to 2.4 per cent, and a reproduction number of approximately 1 to 1.1.
