Canada making 'good progress' in slowing growth of COVID-19 pandemic: Tam

Canada's top doctor says while Canada has made 'good progress' in slowing the growth of the COVID-19 pandemic across most of the country, the rate of decline has 'slowed somewhat.'

Dr. Theresa Tam made the comments during a press conference in Ottawa on Friday.

According to the most recent epidemic modelling released by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), the rate of decline has “slowed somewhat,” adding that the country could see some “bumps” in the trajectory of the pandemic in the months ahead.

Tam said since the last modelling released in early October, daily average case counts across the country have continued to decrease.

Over the past week an average of 2,230 cases were being reported daily, she said
