Coronavirus: Canadian COVID-19 cases surge as unemployment remains high

Canada reported 3,664 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Friday, as well as 55 more deaths. The data brings the country’s total number of COVID-19 cases to 255,536 and its death toll to 10,436.

Friday’s data represents the country’s second-highest ever 24-hour increase in new COVID-19 cases. Canada’s record daily case increase, which was retroactively set on Thursday after Alberta released data initially held back due to a reporting error, now stands at 3,918 newly confirmed infections.

With the surging cases, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is urging Canadians to slow the spread of the virus, especially as long-term unemployment levels remain high across the country. David Akin explains.
