CORONAVIRUS UPDATE ⭕ There have been 2101 confirmed cases of COVID-19, an increase of seven since yesterday, and 263 deaths in Ottawa, no new reports. ⭕ Ottawa may enter stage three next week. The Provincial chief medical officer is waiting for the week's data but has mused that most health regions may be eligible to go to the next stage. In Stage 3, restaurants can open some indoor seating, groups of more than 10 people can meet, and playgrounds may reopen. Major spectator events would still be off limits. [CBC] ⭕ Hospitals want to set up pop-up hospitals in long-term care homes. The idea is that many patients don't require emergency hospital services and are taking aways beds from acute care. The Province needs to approve the idea. [CBC] |
