New daily cases of COVID-19 in Canada could almost double to more than 15,000 from 8,600 by the end of April unless stricter measures are taken as new variants spread, health officials said on Friday.
The officials told reporters that if people cut the number of personal contacts by 20%-30%, the number of cases could drop to around 4,500.
