Diseases of Public Health Significance Dashboard
Cases of infectious diseases of public health significance (DOPHS) in Ottawa residents are reportable to the Medical Officer of Health at Ottawa Public Health under the Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA) and associated regulations. Reports are made primarily by laboratories, but healthcare providers are also required to report.
The DOPHS dashboard provides an overview of diseases of public health significance in Ottawa, excluding COVID-19 and influenza. Data on COVID-19 and Influenza are presented in the Respiratory and Enteric Surveillance Dashboard. Data are presented as crude counts of cases in Ottawa residents and as incidence rates per 100,000 Ottawa residents. Case classifications are specified in the provincial surveillance case definitions outlined in Appendix 1 of the Infectious Diseases Protocol.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the public health and health care sectors, there may be limitations with the 2019-2022 data presented in this tool. Trends should be interpreted with caution.
For more information on DOPHS and other non-DOPHS diseases, please visit our Public Health Topics –Diseases webpage.
For Ontario DOPHS surveillance data, see the Infectious Diseases Surveillance Reports and Infectious Disease Trends in Ontario interactive tool.
