Canadian Chief Public Health Officer Tan Yongshi reminded the public on July 30 that under the influence of the delta mutant strain, the country may encounter the fourth wave of new crown epidemics. Tan Yongshi said that the trend of the epidemic will mainly depend on the degree of complete vaccination and the speed of economic restart. She believes that the 18 to 39-year-old population is the focus of the prevention and control of the epidemic, and the vaccination rate for this age group needs to be increased from the current 70% to 80%.
Canada’s epidemic curve has dropped significantly since May, and many places are gradually taking steps to unblock and restart their economies. However, in the past week, the number of daily increasing cases in some regions showed signs of rebound. At present, 70% of the Canadian population has received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 55.7% of the total population has been fully vaccinated. However, the growth rate of vaccination rates has slowed significantly recently, and there are still more than 6 million eligible people who have not been vaccinated.
