OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada’s COVID-19 cases are creeping higher at the start of what could be a fourth wave, which can be kept under control if vaccinations continue and there is a cautious relaxation of public health measures, the country’s top health official said on Friday.
Rising case counts suggest “we are at the start of the Delta-driven fourth wave, but that the trajectory will depend on ongoing increase in fully vaccinated coverage and the timing, pace and extent of reopening,” Chief Public Health officer Theresa Tam told reporters.
