Canada's deputy chief medical officer says the country's COVID-19 vaccination rates have doubled in five weeks, reaching nearly 20 million doses administered to date, while daily cases continue to decline.
But Dr. Howard Njoo says Canadians should take care to maintain the country's progress this Victoria Day long weekend.
Njoo is urging people choose lower-risk outdoor activities and follow the public health advice of their respective jurisdictions.
Daily COVID-19 cases have dropped by 25 per cent over the past seven days.
Njoo says, while hospitalizations, deaths and critical-care admissions remain high, those figures are also decreasing.
