OTTAWA -- The head of the Ottawa Hospital says COVID-19 patient transfers from Toronto-area hospitals have stopped, helping to relieve some of the pressure on the hospital during the third wave of the pandemic. Ottawa hospitals have received 50 to 60 patient transfers from the Toronto-area over the past month or so. "I think we're definitely headed in the right direction. I was very concerned three weeks ago," said Cameron Love, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital. Love noted Ottawa's seven day average was over 300 cases of COVID-19 in mid-April and there were more than 100 patients in Ottawa hospitals with COVID-19.
