OTTAWA (Reuters) – A recent spike in coronavirus cases across Canada as the economy gradually reopens is worrying but does not come as a surprise to authorities, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Deputy public health officer Howard Njoo – who expressed concern last Friday about the increase – told a briefing that the success of efforts to combat the outbreak was fragile and could be undermined by people becoming complacent.
