Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says deaths from COVID-19 will continue to rise even as the number of cases overall in Canada may go down.
Tams says that's because of outbreaks in long-term care facilities.
She says close to half of the deaths being tracked are linked to long-term care facilities.
Tam says all jurisdictions are trying to deal with those outbreaks but as people learn more about how to respond, new measures are being put in place.
