Dr. Theresa Tam said Canada may have passed the peak of the third wave, as average daily COVID-19 case counts dropped to fewer than 7,000 for the first time since April.
There s also been a decline in severe illness, with an average of fewer than 4,000 COVID-19 patients being treated in hospital each day, she said.
Tam touted great strides in the fact about 50 per cent of adults have at least one vaccine dose, suggesting that maintaining this pace could pay off in the form of an outdoor summer that gets us back into many of the activities we ve been missing.
That could include small outdoor gatherings with family and friends in the warm weather, such as picnics in the park, outdoor sports and patio dining, said Tam.

OTTAWA – Canada is likely to get at least 120 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine that will come too late to help with the country’s rollout and advocates argue it should commit now to giving those vaccines to the developing world as soon as possible.
Canada has contracts with Pfizer and Moderna that offer enough doses alone to fully vaccinate every Canadian by September. On top of that, there are additional doses from Johnson and Johnson, and AstraZeneca that could be used.
