Nationally, a total of 53,086 Canadians have died due to COVID-19.
Case-wise, the latest report shows an increase in confirmed cases; however, the numbers remain low.
There were 138 confirmed cases and four outbreaks in “high-risk” settings due to less COVID-19 laboratory testing; it’s estimated that the report doesn’t capture the bulk of all COVID-19 cases in the province.
