Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has said recent downward respiratory trends are encouraging. As of Tuesday’s update, the capital’s key COVID-19 trends are all lower at the end of January than the start and either stable or dropping.

It has maintained that it’s still worthwhile to reduce risks while COVID-19 levels are high.

Experts strongly recommend people wear masks indoors and, in Ontario, in the days after having COVID symptoms. Staying home when sick and being up-to-date with COVID and flu vaccines also help protect vulnerable people.

A broader look at respiratory illnesses comes on Wednesdays: overall, respiratory virus activity was seen as dropping and non-COVID virus levels generally seen as low.
