COVID-19: Ottawa’s top doctor asks to move city into grey-lockdown zone before long weekend

Published on April 01, 2021 at 12:15 AM

Ottawa’s top doctor has asked Ontario officials to move the region into the strictest level on the provincial COVID-19 framework as surging levels of the virus threaten to overwhelm the city’s health-care system.

Dr. Vera Etches, Ottawa’s medical officer of health, said Wednesday that she has asked her counterparts at the provincial level to shift the nation’s capital into the grey-lockdown zone from the red-control level before the upcoming long weekend.

The move, which rests in the hands of the province, would end indoor dining and put tighter limits on outdoor gatherings.

Etches said Wednesday that the COVID-19 situation in Ottawa has become dire, adding that entering the province’s red zone on March 19 failed to curb the spread of the virus locally.
