In a hilariously honest tweet on September 30, the city’s medical officer of health admitted that she’d had a pretty busy morning.

Although she confessed her mind was elsewhere, she said, “I still can't believe I made it to City Hall without my skirt on under my rain jacket!”

On Tuesday, Ottawa reported a record-breaking increase of 105 new cases within 24 hours.

The top doctor has confirmed that the capital is currently experiencing its second wave and revealed that it’s “close to red” on the pandemic scale.
