OTTAWA – Canada’s chief public health officer is calling for tougher COVID-19 restrictions to be imposed immediately in many parts of the country as new case numbers continue to rise.
Provinces like Ontario still have hotspots where the epidemic is not under control, Dr. Theresa Tam told reporters in Ottawa on Friday, and the situation threatens to overwhelm critical-care workers.
Tam said provinces need to re-evaluate the measures they have in effect now because case numbers are continuing to grow.
