Canada now has more than 10,000 coronavirus cases

April 02, 2020 22:01

Canadian public health officials are now reporting at least 10,132 cases of Covid-19 across the country and 127 deaths.

Officials stressed that the next two weeks will be crucial in determining the shape of the pandemic curve in Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced questions Thursday about why modeling data had not yet been released in Canada, as the Trump administration has done in the US.

Trudeau said that modeling information would be released soon but stressed his government is reviewing data to ensure more accurate modeling.

How do we make sure the analysis that we apply to the data thats coming in, thats being published daily so Canadians can see it, actually makes sense and reflects whats going to happen in various regions across the country, he said.

The vast majority of Canadians are now under "stay at home" orders and most public schools have been closed for more than two weeks.
