Ottawa’s restaurants and bar owners were livid Friday after learning they were closed by the province on Oct. 10 although just three COVID-19 outbreaks accounting for two per cent of Ottawa’s 189 total outbreaks since Aug. 1 were traced to them.
However, Ottawa Public Health said Friday the provincial information is only “part of the picture of COVID-19” in the city.
“I’m all for being part of the community and understanding that COVID is deadly, and we have to do our part and take our lumps,” said Ron Shrybman, owner of the Elgin Street Diner. “But when you’re ruining an entire industry, all because of two or three cases in an industry, that’s insane to me. It’s proven with their own numbers we’re not the problem.”
