COVID-19 has continued circulating at relatively high levels in Ottawa and across the province, even between waves, with levels never dropping to the low numbers seen earlier in the pandemic.

OPH will also focus on immunization. It has already made progress in helping students catch up on some of the routine childhood vaccines that were missed during the pandemic.
