Across Ontario, there are 9,571 new cases of COVID-19. That smashes Thursday's record-breaking total of 5,790 cases. Health officials reported 2,456 cases in Toronto and 1,113 cases in Peel Region.
Ontario's rolling seven-day average has soared to 4,922, up from 1,914 at this point last week.
The 624 cases in Ottawa follows 466 cases on Thursday and 387 cases on Wednesday.
Ottawa's COVID-19 Testing Taskforce says testing capacity in Ottawa and across Ontario is "under strain", and timely access may not be available to everyone with COVID-19 symptoms. Walk-in testing has been paused at Ottawa's clinics to keep testing capacity available for essential workers.
