Dr. Theresa Tam is warning that relaxing public health restrictions too quickly or too soon could lead to a rampant resurgence of COVID-19.
The chief public health officer delivered a new report today that shows most of the country has seen the spread of the disease diminish substantially.
But Tam is pointing out hot spots of community transmission in Toronto and Montreal that she says are concerning.
New short-term projections say as many as 1,857 more Canadians could die of COVID-19 in the next 11 days.
Chief Public Health Officer says by mid-month there could be as many as 107,500 cases of COVID-19 nationwide and as many as 9,400 deaths.
The total number of cases reached 93,700 this morning including 7,635 deaths.
