Epidemic curve
As of June 25, 2021, 9 am ET , PHAC has received detailed case report data on cases.
The shaded area for Figures 2 and 3 represents a period of accumulating data where it is known or expected that cases, and severe outcomes have occurred but have not yet been reported nationally. We update this information as it becomes available.
Due to changes in COVID-19 testing policies in many jurisdictions since December 2021, case counts are under-estimated.
