Cumulative Deaths

**Effective November 14, 2024 this page will no longer be updated. Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool **

The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID. This impacts data captured in the columns “Deaths”, “Deaths_Data_Cleaning” and “newly_reported_deaths” starting with data for March 11, 2022. A new column has been added to the file “Deaths_New_Methodology” which represents the methodological change.

The method used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed, effective December 1, 2022. Prior to December 1, 2022, deaths were counted based on the date the death was updated in the public health unit’s system. Going forward, deaths are counted on the date they occurred.

On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. A small number of COVID deaths (less than 20) do not have recorded death date and will be excluded from this file.

CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags.

As of January 12, 2024, data from the date of January 1, 2024 onwards reflect updated population estimates. This update specifically impacts data for the 'not fully vaccinated' category. On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags. The data does not include vaccination data for people who did not provide consent for vaccination records to be entered into the provincial COVaxON system. This includes individual records as well as records from some Indigenous communities where those communities have not consented to including vaccination information in COVaxON. “Not fully vaccinated” category includes people with no vaccine and one dose of double-dose vaccine. “People with one dose of double-dose vaccine” category has a small and constantly changing number. The combination will stabilize the results. Spikes, negative numbers and other data anomalies: Due to ongoing data entry and data quality assurance activities in Case and Contact Management system (CCM) file, Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes, negative numbers and current totals being different from previously reported case and death counts. Public Health Units report cause of death in the CCM based on information available to them at the time of reporting and in accordance with definitions provided by Public Health Ontario. The medical certificate of death is the official record and the cause of death could be different. Deaths are defined per the outcome field in CCM marked as “Fatal”. Deaths in COVID-19 cases identified as unrelated to COVID-19 are not included in the Deaths involving COVID-19 reported. Rates for the most recent days are subject to reporting lags All data reflects totals from 8 p.m. the previous day. This dataset is subject to change.

Deaths in COVID-19 cases identified as unrelated to COVID-19 are not included in the number of deaths involving COVID-19 reported. "_Cause of death unknown_" is the category of death for COVID-19 positive individuals with cause of death still under investigation, or for which the public health unit was unable to determine cause of death. The category may change later when the cause of death is confirmed either as “COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death”, “COVID-19 contributed but not underlying cause,” or “COVID-19 unrelated”. "_Cause of death missing_" is the category of death for COVID-19 positive individuals with the cause of death missing in CCM. Rates for the most recent days are subject to reporting lags All data reflects totals from 8 p.m. the previous day. This dataset is subject to change.

Effective June 7th, 2024, this dataset will no longer be updated.This file contains data on:

1. Cumulative count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by episode date (i.e. the earliest of symptom onset, testing or reported date), including active cases and resolved cases.

2. Cumulative count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who died by date of death.

3. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reported date and episode date.

4. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by outbreak association and episode date.

5. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 newly admitted to the hospital, currently in hospital, and currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).

6. Cumulative rate of confirmed COVID-19 for Ottawa residents by age group and episode date.

7. Cumulative rate of confirmed COVID-19 for Ottawa residents by gender and episode date.

8. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by source of infection and episode date.

Data are from the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM).

Accuracy: Points of consideration for interpretation of the data:

The percent of cases with no known epidemiological (epi) link, during the current day and previous 13 days, is calculated as the number of cases with no known epi link among all cases. The percent of cases with no known epi link is unstable during time periods with few cases.

Source of infection is based on a case's epidemiologic linkage. If no epidemiologic linkage is identified, source of infection is allocated using a hierarchy of risk factors: related to travel prior to April 1, 2020 > part of an outbreak > close or household contact of a known case > related to travel since April 1, 2020 > unspecified epidemiological link > no known source of infection > no information available.

Data are entered into and extracted by Ottawa Public Health from the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM). The CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system that allows for ongoing updates; data represent a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent reports.

As the cases are investigated and more information is available, the dates are updated.

A person’s exposure may have occurred up to 14 days prior to onset of symptoms. Symptomatic cases occurring in approximately the last 14 days are likely under-reported due to the time for individuals to seek medical assessment, availability of testing, and receipt of test results.

Confirmed cases are those with a confirmed COVID-19 laboratory result as per the Ministry of Health Public health management of cases and contacts of COVID-19 in Ontario. March 25, 2020 version 6.0.

Counts will be subject to varying degrees of underreporting due to a variety of factors, such as disease awareness and medical care seeking behaviours, which may depend on severity of illness, clinical practice, changes in laboratory testing, and reporting behaviours.

Data on hospital admissions, ICU admissions and deaths are likely under-reported as these events may occur after the completion of public health follow up of cases. Cases that were admitted to hospital or died after follow-up was completed may not be captured in iPHIS or local health unit reporting tools.

Cases are associated with a specific, isolated community outbreak; an institutional outbreak (e.g. healthcare, childcare, education); or no known outbreak (i.e., sporadic).

The distribution of the source of infection among confirmed cases is impacted by the provincial guidance on testing.

Surveillance testing for COVID-19 began in long term care facilities on April 25, 2020.

Source of infection is allocated using a hierarchy: Related to travel prior to April 1, 2020 > Close contact of a known case or part of a community outbreak or source of infection is an institutional outbreak > Related to travel since April 1, 2020 > No known source of infection > Missing.

The percent of cases with unknown source, during the current day and previous 13 days, is calculated as the number of cases with no known source among cases who source of infection is not an institutional outbreak. Calculated over a 14 day period (i.e. the day of interest and the preceding 13 days). The percent of cases with no known source is unstable during time periods with few cases.

Update Frequency: Wednesdays

Attributes: Data fields:

Data fields:

Date – Date in format YYYY-MM-DD H:MM. The date type varies based on the column of interest and could be:

 - Episode date – Earliest of

symptom onset, test or reported date for cases;

 - Date of death – The date

the person was reported to have died

 - Reported date – Date the

confirmed laboratory results were reported to Ottawa Public Health

 - Hospitalization date

Cumulative Cases by Episode Date – cumulative number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by episode date. Cumulative Resolved Cases by Episode Date – cumulative number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 that have not died and are either (1) assessed as ‘recovered’ in The CCM or (2) 14 days past their episode date and not currently hospitalized. Cumulative Active Cases by Episode Date– cumulative number of Ottawa residents with an active COVID-19 infection. Calculated as the total number of Ottawa residents with COVID-19 excluding resolved and deceased cases. Cumulative Deaths by Date of Death - cumulative number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who died by date of death. Deaths are included whether or not COVID-19 was determined to be a contributing or underlying cause of death. Daily Cases by Reported Date – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reported date 7-Day Average of Newly Reported Cases by Reported Date – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reported date. Calculated over a 7 day period (i.e. the day of interest and the preceding 6 days). Daily Cases by Episode Date - number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by episode date. Daily Cases Linked to a Community Outbreak by Episode Date – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated with a specific isolated community outbreak by episode date. Daily Cases Linked to an Institutional Outbreak – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 associated with a COVID-19 outbreak in a healthcare, childcare or educational establishment by case episode date. Healthcare institutions include places such as long-term care homes, retirement homes, hospitals, other healthcare institutions (e.g. group homes, shelters). Daily Cases Not Linked to an Institutional Outbreak (i.e. Sporadic Cases) – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 not associated to an outbreak of COVID-19. Cases Newly Admitted to Hospital – Daily number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to hospital. Emergency room visits are not included in the number of hospital admissions. Cases Currently in Hospital – Number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 currently in hospital, includes patients in intensive care. Emergency room visits are not included in the number of hospitalizations. Cases Currently in ICU - Number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 currently being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is a subset of the count of hospitalized cases. Cumulative Rate of COVID-19 by 10-year Age Groupings (per 100,000 pop) and Episode Date – The number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 within an age group (e.g. 0-9 years) divided by the total Ottawa population for that age group. This fraction is then multiplied by 100,000 to get a rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 population for that age group. Cumulative Rate of COVID-19 by Gender (per 100,000 pop) and Episode Date – The number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 of a given gender (e.g. female) divided by the total Ottawa population for that gender. This fraction is then multiplied by 100,000 to get a rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 population for that gender. Source of infection is travel by episode date: individuals who are most likely to have acquired their infection during out-of-province travel. Number of cases with missing information on source of infection by episode date: assessment for source of infection was not completed. Number of cases with no known epidemiological link by episode date: individuals who did not travel outside Ontario, are not part of an outbreak, and are not able to identify someone with COVID-19 from whom they might have acquired infection. The assessment for source of infection was completed, but no sources were identified. Source of infection is a close contact by episode date: individuals presumed to have acquired their infection following close contact (e.g. household member, friend, relative) with an individual with confirmed COVID-19. Source of infection is an outbreak by episode date: individuals who are most likely to have acquired their infection as part of a confirmed COVID-19 outbreak. Source of Infection is Unknown by Episode Date: Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 who did not travel outside

This dataset reports the daily reported number of the 7-day moving average rates of Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status and by age group. Learn how the Government of Ontario is helping to keep Ontarians safe during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus outbreak. Effective November 14, 2024 this page will no longer be updated. Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool Data includes: * Date on which the death occurred * Age group * 7-day moving average of the last seven days of the death rate per 100,000 for those not fully vaccinated * 7-day moving average of the last seven days of the death rate per 100,000 for those fully vaccinated * 7-day moving average of the last seven days of the death rate per 100,000 for those vaccinated with at least one booster ##Additional notes As of June 16, all COVID-19 datasets will be updated weekly on Thursdays by 2pm. As of January 12, 2024, data from the date of January 1, 2024 onwards reflect updated population estimates. This update specifically impacts data for the 'not fully vaccinated' category. On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags. The data does not include vaccination data for people who did not provide consent for vaccination records to be entered into the provincial COVaxON system. This includes individual records as well as records from some Indigenous communities where those communities have not consented to including vaccination information in COVaxON. “Not fully vaccinated” category includes people with no vaccine and one dose of double-dose vaccine. “People with one dose of double-dose vaccine” category has a small and constantly changing number. The combination will stabilize the results. Spikes, negative numbers and other data anomalies: Due to ongoing data entry and data quality assurance activities in Case and Contact Management system (CCM) file, Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes, negative numbers and current totals being different from previously reported case and death counts. Public Health Units report cause of death in the CCM based on information available to them at the time of reporting and in accordance with definitions provided by Public Health Ontario. The medical certificate of death is the official record and the cause of death could be different. Deaths are defined per the outcome field in CCM marked as “Fatal”. Deaths in COVID-19 cases identified as unrelated to COVID-19 are not included in the Deaths involving COVID-19 reported. Rates for the most recent days are subject to reporting lags All data reflects totals from 8 p.m. the previous day. This dataset is subject to change.

Summary of COVID-19 community outbreaks in Ottawa based on the most up to date information available in the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM).

Accuracy: Points of consideration for interpretation of the data:

• The data was extracted by Ottawa Public Health from the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM). The CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system that allows for ongoing updates to data previously entered. The data extracted from The CCM represent a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ in previous or subsequent reports.

• Data are for confirmed outbreaks and the number Ottawa residents with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 associated to each outbreak is provided. Please note, individuals may be linked to multiple outbreaks.

• All the outbreaks reflect the outbreak definitions at the time they were declared open:

o Community: From April 1st 2020, 2 or more laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases with an epidemiological link in the setting within a 14-day period where at least 2 cases could have reasonably acquired their infection in the setting. Examples of epidemiological links in community settings include community organization (e.g. attended same social or volunteer club meeting), religious/spiritual organization (e.g. attended same service), residential (e.g. multi-unit dwelling - from different households in the same apartment building but rode the elevator together, used a common room at the same time), social event (e.g. attended same one-time party, wedding or funeral together), sports and recreation (e.g. attended same sports team practice or fitness class), or workplace (e.g. same work area, same shift).

• Public health is only required to formally declare outbreaks for workplace community settings but has chosen to declare outbreaks in other community settings when there is more risk to the public, there are challenges in contact tracing and/or capacity allows. Since October 2020, OPH has systematically reported outbreaks in other community settings. Please see the definitions for community outbreaks posted on the OPH COVID-19 Dashboard web page for more information.
