Canada's chief public health officer says there have now been 236,000 tests in Canada for COVID-19.
Dr. Theresa Tam says 3.5 per cent are confirmed positive, and more than 93 per cent confirmed negative.
She says adults under 40 represent about 10 per cent of hospitalizations.
Tam says the greatest concern at the moment is the introduction and spread of the virus in places where high-risk populations reside, including long-term care homes, remote First Nations and prisons.
