Good morning, Ottawa. The levels of COVID-19 circulating in our community are high.

And while some things have changed since 2020, others have not: masks still work. A well-fitted mask will help protect you, and those around you.

It's a very simple thing that goes a long way.

A round of applause for @uOttawa’s 2023 #VanierCanada Scholars who are striving to develop proactive health solutions and improve our quality of life through their innovative research projects. Congratulations to all!

Look at the lastest addition to the @OttawaHealth Respiratory Virus Snapshot, #RSV #Flu wastewater data! @RobDelatolla @PatrickAoust @rnaguru

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

Our friends at @CHEO have seen significant volumes of other respiratory viruses, like flu & RSV.

And those viruses do have an impact on our levels of risk as a community, including on our health system.

So, we're adding flu & RSV wastewater data into our weekly snapshot. (4/9)
