Canada's chief public health officer says we're continuing to make good progress in the fight against COVID-19. Dr. Theresa Tam says the rolling seven-day average number of cases has been steadily declining.
Dr. Tam says Canada is recording 1,850 cases daily, with the number of deaths now down 40 per cent to 31.
Chief public health officer says over 27.7-million doses of vaccine have been administered across Canada. Dr. Theresa Tam says over 2.6-million of those were given in the past week.
Dr. Tam says Indigenous communities and the territories have some of the highest vaccination rates in the country. She says in the territories, 60 per cent of residents 12 years of age and up are now fully vaccinated.
