COVID-19: Share your thoughts
As Ottawa and the rest of the world continue to respond to this unprecedented time in history, the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Public Health are looking to learn more about your thoughts, perceptions and understanding of current restrictions in place related to COVID-19.
The City and Ottawa Public Health are currently exploring how we can safely reopen the city in a gradual, phased approach while aligning with the Province of Ontario’s framework for reopening the province
We want to hear from you about the changes you have made to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19, how easy it has been for you to receive and understand information from different levels of government, what kinds of supports you have accessed, your ideas on how to maintain physical distancing into the future and much more.
Please check back regularly as we will update this page to seek ongoing feedback as we continue to navigate next steps.

Call in system to emergency to find out how a patient is doing leaves a lot to be worked on-they lost someone - had them in the wrong room
Couldn't get an answer about an emergency visit - wouldn't try to help to find out where he was - 89 year old father had to be left by himself when he needed someone with him

Use the paths during non-peak hours. Use mask. Make sure I get out. Mental health is important.

Just a thought on controlling the spread
Every day, we are hoping to see a drop in NEW cases. That is an indication that we are in control of this spread. If this number is dropping consistently for 5 days then it is very encouraging. Otherwise, we can't really say that we had cornered the spread as for each new case there could be more cases that we had not caught. The new cases keep on increasing or fluctuating, what indications that can be used to confirm that the spread had peaked? Thank you

I'm concerned about bringing in garbage cans, recycle bins as they are touched by the same hands touching all other bins on collection day

Add signage that changes more often so people keep taking it seriously. E.G. coloured placards that change based on number of local cases
I live near Dows lake and when I go jogging I rarely see face masks although the park is packed. There also often seem to be groups who don't seem to live together (e.g. two people pulling cars up next to each other to share a cigarette or larger groups staying 6 ft apart half of the time while going for a walk). I will not be surprised if more incidences of community spread pop up following the May 24 long weekend.

Formal Fridays
Sometimes my husband and I will dress up a little on Friday evenings and order take out or delivery from a local restaurant and play board games - gives us something to look forward to each week :)

We know that practising physical distancing or being in self-isolation aren't easy, and we thank you for all you're doing to help plank the curve. Remember: taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.
