New cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa 

Tweeting about the latest update on Monday, Ottawa's Mayor described the uptick as "concerning" and urged locals to continue to follow public health advice.

Ottawa Public Health also tweeted about the rise, writing, "So, our case numbers...they aren't good. If you haven't taken this seriously yet, now's a good time to start."

This comes as cases continue to rise across Ontario, with regions like Toronto and Peel also reporting significant figures.

Stay safe, Ottawa!
