OTTAWA Two weeks after Ontario implemented a stay-at-home order, Ottawa s top doctor suggests there may be a little stabilization in the COVID-19 transmission in the community. I cannot say that we are seeing sufficient signs of the curve turning yet, said Dr. Vera Etches, Ottawa s medical officer of health, during a media briefing Wednesday afternoon. Ottawa Public Health reported 181 cases of COVID-19 in Ottawa on Wednesday, following 186 cases on Tuesday. Appearing on Newstalk 580 CFRA s Ottawa Now with Kristy Cameron Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Etches was asked if the stay-at-home order issued on April 8 is having an impact. It looks like it may well be. Congratulations to people in Ottawa again, your hard work is probably starting to at least stop the rise, said Dr. Etches.
