The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases attributed to the highly contagious Delta variant jumped 66 per cent in Canada this week.

Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says as of Friday more than 2,000 cases of the variant have now been confirmed across all 10 provinces and in one territory.

Just three days ago, the Public Health Agency told The Canadian Press there were 1,187 confirmed cases.The variant was first identified in India but has now become the dominant strain in the United Kingdom where it is spreading rapidly, mostly among unvaccinated people. It is believed to be at least 1.5 times as contagious as the Alpha variant first identified in the U.K. which is, for now, the dominant variant in Canada.

Tam says the variant is a concern because one dose of vaccine isn't as effective against it and it underscores the need for Canada to keep picking up the pace on second doses.

Why not let your readers know that according to virologists, ALL variants are less deadly. But hey, half-truths are more sensational and instil fear. Nothing like being a willing partner in encouraging naive sheeple to risk their lives and take the experimental jab. Shame!

CCP(chinese communist party) created and spread the virus COVID-19 around the world. It is high time held the CCP accountable! Please wake up and eradicate the CCP out of the earth! CCP: Chinese Communist Party CCP≠CHINA CCP≠CHINESE CCPvirus

Cases will keep rising until we have enough vaccines for 2nd dose.

The biggest virus of all is the corrupt media and corrupt government

what's he saying?

So is this 100 that’s gone to 166 or what? Should include numbers instead of trying to grab headlines

Get your shots. Keep distant. Wear your mask. All proven to make a difference. This isn't over yet.

Stop panicking people

Get ready for another horror episode folks

So what happened to the UK, South African, and Brazilian variant?! 🤔🤷‍♂️😷

Looks like an increase, not a spike (no up and down). Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said as of Friday there are just over 2,000 confirmed cases of the variant. Just three days ago, the Public Health Agency told C.P. there were 1,187 confirmed cases.

Fear! Fear! Fear! It’s too dangerous to enjoy life and see your friends and family. Let us control your life and we will protect you.

Possible side effects are still not updated as today & based on what was posted December 2020. Sadly even after findings of deaths and serious side effects on the vaccinated people around the world.
