Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says stricter measures are needed in several parts of the country as more contagious variants of COVID-19 send younger people to hospital.
Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam told the same federal briefing that hospital admissions are up seven per cent week-over-week, with the number of cases linked to more contagious variants almost doubling.
The federal government has now delivered more than 10.5-million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to the provinces and territories.
Trudeau says Canada is expected to have received at least 44-million doses from Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca by the end of June.
