COVID-19 hospitalization total keeps dropping as its coronavirus

wastewater levels stabilize. Nine more COVID deaths have been reported across the region.

Starting today, Quebecers will no longer need to show a vaccine passport to enter liquor and cannabis stores as well as larger retail outlets.

This is the first step in the province's plan to completely phase out its vaccine passport by March 14. While some business owners and customers may be breathing a sigh of relief, reactions are mixed among experts and politicians.

After a brief reopening on Tuesday, the city says the COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the University of Ottawa is closed again on Wednesday because of the effects of the ongoing protest.

Numbers to watch

Testing can't meet demand during the Omicron wave, meaning many people with COVID-19 won't be reflected in the case count. Hospitalizations and wastewater monitoring can help fill in some of the grey areas.

The average measurement of coronavirus in Ottawa's wastewater is stable, so are the Brockville, Kemptville and Smiths Falls sites and sites around Kingston.

There are 20 Ottawa residents in local hospitals for treatment of active COVID-19 as of Wednesday's Ottawa Public Health (OPH) report. Two of these patients are in an ICU. Both numbers have been declining this month.

This count also doesn't tell the entire hospital picture: as of Saturday, there were 99 hospital patients with COVID in Ottawa of you include those in hospital for other reasons who happen to have COVID. This number has also been dropping.

As of Wednesday, Ottawa has had 61,072 confirmed cases of COVID-19. There are 1,037 known active cases — a number that may actually be much higher — and 741 residents have died from the illness.

Outside of Ottawa, the wider region has about 125 COVID-19 hospitalizations, with the bulk of patients in Renfrew County and western Quebec. About 20 of them still need intensive care. These numbers don't include Hastings Prince Edward Public Health.

In eastern Ontario outside of Ottawa, 360 people with COVID-19 have died. In western Quebec, the death toll is 283.

What are the rules?

Eastern Ontario:

The province's private gathering limits are 10 people inside and 25 outside.

Indoor dining, gyms, cinemas, theatres, retail businesses and many other establishments can open at 50 per cent capacity.

All capacity limits in restaurants, bars, cinemas and gyms will be lifted tomorrow, a move that was originally planned for next week. Private gathering limits also rise.

The province's vaccine passport is required for many public places for people above 12 years and 12 weeks old until March 1. After that, businesses and other settings can still ask for it.

A vaccine mandate for staff and visitors in long-term care homes will remain in place.

Western Quebec

Private gathering limits at homes no longer have any restrictions, although health officials recommend 10 people at most or three households.

Dining rooms are open at half capacity. Theatres and places of worship can reopen with capacity limits. Gyms, spas and more sports can resume.

There are plans to change rules in stages until March 14. The next changes are for retail businesses and places of worship Monday.

A vaccine passport is in place for most people age 13 and up in many public spaces. People can use an app or show paper proof they have at least two doses.

It is being lifted in stages until March 14. As of today, it's no longer needed in big-box, cannabis and liquor stores and on Monday, won't be needed in places of worship
