Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says weekly COVID-19 case counts and severe illness trends are stable or declining in many parts of the country.
But COVID-19 is still circulating.
And with two new sub-variants of Omicron on the rise, Tam expects we'll see an increase in cases over the weeks ahead.
Yesterday, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization advised provinces to prepare to offer another round of shots to people at increased risk of severe COVID-19, regardless of how many booster doses they've already received.
The World Health Organization is reporting the number of new COVID-19 cases rose 18 per cent worldwide in the last week.
