Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says Canada is on track to hit 10,000 new daily infections of COVID-19 by the end of the month.
Prime Minister Trudeau says he knows that's not what Canadians want to hear.
New modelling shows the total number of cases could reach 796,630 by January 24th.
By the same date another 2,000 people could die.
And Tam says that means Canada's already-stretched health care system could face its breaking point.
The new modelling was released this morning as Procurement Minister Anita Anand revealed global supply issues will temporarily delay vaccine shipments from Pfizer-BioNTech.
