New modelling released by the federal government on Friday showed that Canada is on track to see more than 10,000 coronavirus cases a day by the end of January with “increasing hospitalizations and deaths expected to continue to follow the rising case numbers," chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said.
The modelling showed that if Canadians increase the current number of people they contact each day by February, COVID-19 cases could skyrocket past 30,000 per day. COVID-19 related deaths may also soon exceed levels seen during the first peak in May 2020, the data also showed.
Tam stated the rise in COVID-19 numbers is largely due to Canadians gathering during the holidays. She added that measures must be “further intensified,” in order to help stop the spread.
Canada added 7,563 coronavirus cases Thursday and 154 deaths as the second detection of the South African variant of the virus was reported in the country. There are now 688,891 cases in total and 17,537 deaths in the country.
