As of April 25, 2023, there had been 4.65 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and almost 52 thousand deaths from the disease in Canada. Almost 42 thousand COVID-19 tests had been preformed in the last week.

The coronavirus in Canada The first coronavirus cases in Canada were reported in late January 2020. The number of new cases initially surged in March, but the country was gripped by a second wave in the fall and winter of 2020. The worst wave of cases to hit the country came towards the end of 2021 when the number of new daily cases hit an all-time high. Older adults are at greater risk of getting severely ill from the disease, but the distribution of cases in Canada shows that people in their 20s account for approximately 18 percent of cases.

Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool ** The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID. This impacts data captured in the columns “Deaths”, “Deaths_Data_Cleaning” and “newly_reported_deaths” starting with data for March 11, 2022. A new column has been added to the file “Deaths_New_Methodology” which represents the methodological change. The method used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed, effective December 1, 2022. Prior to December 1, 2022, deaths were counted based on the date the death was updated in the public health unit’s system. Going forward, deaths are counted on the date they occurred. On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. A small number of COVID deaths (less than 20) do not have recorded death date and will be excluded from this file. CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags. ##Related dataset(s) * Confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Ontario

The data contained in the table describes COVID-19 in Canada in terms of number of cases and deaths at the provincial and national levels from January 31, 2020 to present time. It also describes the number of tests performed and the number of people recovered. The values displayed in the table are provided by the Public Health Infobase, managed by the Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Branch (HPCDPB) of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). The values are updated daily.

In collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), this table provides Canadians and researchers with data to monitor only the confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Canada. This table will provide an aggregate summary of the data available in the publication 13-26-0003.

Canada recorded 4669364 Coronavirus Cases since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, Canada reported 52301 Coronavirus Deaths. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Canada Coronavirus Cases.

As of May 2, 2023, Canadians aged 20 to 29 years accounted for 17 percent of COVID-19 cases in Canada, the largest share of all age groups.

Which groups of people are at higher risk? The number of new coronavirus cases in Canada had dropped dramatically in the beginning of 2021, suggesting the country had regained control of the second wave of infections, before spiking again around April and then dropping again in the summer months. A new surge began in December 2021, with the number of new daily cases skyrocketing, reaching never-before-seen levels. While there are much more cases among younger people, the number of COVID-19 deaths are particularly high for older people, especially those with pre-existing medical conditions. During these challenging times, it is important to protect older people living alone and those in care facilities. Groups should not be discriminated against because of age, and all communities need to be supported.

This dataset reports the daily reported number of deaths involving COVID-19 by fatality type. Learn how the Government of Ontario is helping to keep Ontarians safe during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus outbreak. Effective November 14, 2024 this page will no longer be updated. Information about COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses is available on Public Health Ontario’s interactive respiratory virus tool: https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-Analysis/Infectious-Disease/Respiratory-Virus-Tool Data includes: * Date on which the death occurred * Total number of deaths involving COVID-19 * Number of deaths with “COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death” * Number of deaths with “COVID-19 contributed but not underlying cause” * Number of deaths where the “Cause of death unknown” or “Cause of death missing” ##Additional Notes The method used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed, effective December 1, 2022. Prior to December 1 2022, deaths were counted based on the date the death was updated in the public health unit’s system. Going forward, deaths are counted on the date they occurred. On November 30, 2023 the count of COVID-19 deaths was updated to include missing historical deaths from January 15, 2020 to March 31, 2023. CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system which allows ongoing update to data previously entered. As a result, data extracted from CCM represents a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent results. Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19 data, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes and current totals being different from previously reported cases and deaths. Observed trends over time should be interpreted with caution for the most recent period due to reporting and/or data entry lags. As of December 1, 2022, data are based on the date on which the death occurred. This reporting method differs from the prior method which is based on net change in COVID-19 deaths reported day over day. Data are based on net change in COVID-19 deaths for which COVID-19 caused the death reported day over day. Deaths are not reported by the date on which death happened as reporting may include deaths that happened on previous dates. Spikes, negative numbers and other data anomalies: Due to ongoing data entry and data quality assurance activities in Case and Contact Management system (CCM) file, Public Health Units continually clean up COVID-19, correcting for missing or overcounted cases and deaths. These corrections can result in data spikes, negative numbers and current totals being different from previously reported case and death counts. Public Health Units report cause of death in the CCM based on information available to them at the time of reporting and in accordance with definitions provided by Public Health Ontario. The medical certificate of death is the official record and the cause of death could be different. Deaths are defined per the outcome field in CCM marked as “Fatal”. Deaths in COVID-19 cases identified as unrelated to COVID-19 are not included in the number of deaths involving COVID-19 reported. "_Cause of death unknown_" is the category of death for COVID-19 positive individuals with cause of death still under investigation, or for which the public health unit was unable to determine cause of death. The category may change later when the cause of death is confirmed either as “COVID-19 as the underlying cause of death”, “COVID-19 contributed but not underlying cause,” or “COVID-19 unrelated”. "_Cause of death missing_" is the category of death for COVID-19 positive individuals with the cause of death missing in CCM. Rates for the most recent days are subject to reporting lags All data reflects totals from 8 p.m. the previous day. This dataset is subject to change.
