Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam provided an update on the recent COVID-19 modelling data on Friday, which showed the country is heading towards 12,000 daily cases of COVID-19 by the beginning of January if no stronger public health restrictions are taken.

Tam said the second wave's resurgence far exceeded the peak of the first wave, with over 70,000 active cases currently, compared to 52,000 active cases three weeks ago.

She stressed the fact that just over one per cent of the population got infected with the virus and the vast majority is still susceptible to get infected, asking people to stick to their local public health orders.

With the news about Pfizer's approved vaccine arriving into Canada next week, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed that the federal government will handle all of the COVID-19 vaccine costs including distribution, logistics and transportation costs to provinces and territories.

Provinces like Quebec and Ontario are preparing to start administering and distributing Pfizer's vaccine early next week.
