Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says over 576,000 people have now been tested for COVID-19 in Canada.
She says 6.5 per cent of those tests were positive.
Tam says as Canada continues to make progress in slowing the spread, there are bumps in the road that mean the country can't let down its guard.
She says a focus must be placed on stopping outbreaks in places like seniors homes and other places where vulnerable populations live together in close quarters.
