The COD is a dynamic disease reporting system that allow for continuous updates of case information. These data are a snapshot in time, reflect the most accurate information that OPH has at the time of reporting, and the numbers may differ from other sources. Cases are assigned to Ward geography based on their postal code and Statistics’ Canada’s enhanced postal code conversion file (PCCF+) released in January 2020. Most postal codes have multiple geographic coordinates linked to them. Thus, when available, postal codes were attributed to a XY coordinates based on the Single Link Identifier provided by Statistics’ Canada’s PCCF+. Otherwise, postal codes that fall within the municipal boundaries but whose SLI doesn’t, were attributed to the first XY coordinates within Ottawa listed in the PCCF+. For this reason, results for rural areas should be interpreted with caution as attribution to XY coordinates is less likely to be based on an SLI and rural postal codes typically encompass a much greater surface area than urban postal codes (e.i. greater variability in geographic attribution, less precision in geographic attribution). Population estimates are based on the 2016 Census. Rates calculated from very low case numbers are unstable and should be interpreted with caution. Low case counts have very wide 95% confidence intervals, which are the lower and upper limit within which the true rate lies 95% of the time. A narrow confidence interval leads to a more precise estimate and a wider confidence interval leads to a less precise estimate. In other words, rates calculated from very low case numbers fluctuate so much that we cannot use them to compare different areas or make predictions over time.Update Frequency: Biweekly Attributes:Ward Number – numberWard Name – textCumulative rate (per 100 000 population), excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH – cumulative number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 in a Ward, excluding those linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH, divided by the total population of that WardCumulative number of cases, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH - cumulative number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 in a Ward, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RHCumulative number of cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH - Number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 linked to an outbreak in a long-term care home or retirement home by WardRate (per 100 000 population) in the last 30 days, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH –number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 in a Ward reported in the 30 days prior to the data pull, excluding those linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH, divided by the total population of that WardNumber of cases in the last 30 days, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH - cumulative number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 in a Ward reported in the 30 days prior to the data pull, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RHNumber of cases in the last 30 days linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH - Number of residents with confirmed COVID-19, reported in the 30 days prior to the data pull, linked to an outbreak in a long-term care home or retirement home by WardRate (per 100 000 population) in the last 14 days, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH –number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 in a Ward reported in the 30 days prior to the data pull, excluding those linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH, divided by the total population of that WardNumber of cases in the last 14 days, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RH - cumulative number of residents with confirmed COVID-19 in a Ward reported in the 30 days prior to the data pull, excluding cases linked to outbreaks in LTCH and RHContact: OPH Epidemiology Team
