Canadian Public Health Agency data reported no deaths from Covid-19 in the past 24 hours. This is an achievement for the first time since March 15, as reported by Reuters news agency, Saturday (12/9).
Government data put the death toll from the coronavirus pandemic in Canada at 9,163 on September 11, the same as the number of deaths reported on September 10. Meanwhile, the number of positive cases increased by 702 to 135,626 cases on September 11 from the previous day.
Canada’s Covid-19 infections have shown a mild increase in recent times following the relaxation of lockdowns, and face-to-face learning has resumed. Authorities are on standby to avoid a new outbreak.
However, Canada’s situation looks relatively healthy compared to its southern neighbors. Across the border in the United States, more than 190,000 people have died from the pandemic and more than 6.38 million people have been infected.
Canada’s experience with SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, is helping health officials to be better prepared. SARS killed 44 people in Canada, the only country outside Asia to report deaths from the outbreak in 2002-2003.
Canada’s first recorded case of coronavirus occurred in Toronto on January 25. Both Ontario, the country’s most populous province, and neighboring Quebec have turned into a red zone for Covid-19 infections.
As Covid-19 cases began to surge in mid-March, Canada closed its international borders to all foreign nationals and stepped up tests in an effort to isolate infected patients. [ah]
