OTTAWA -- Ontario health officials are reporting 205 new cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa on Saturday, the highest figure since early January.

An updated local snapshot from OPH is due at around 12 p.m.

Across Ontario, 3,009 new cases of COVID-19 were reported on Saturday, along with 16 new deaths and 1,819 newly resolved cases.
