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.

As of May 2, 2023, of 34,206 COVID-19 cases deceased in Canada, around 4,058 were aged 60 to 69 years. This statistic shows the number of COVID-19 deaths in Canada as of May 2, 2023, by age.

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.

As of April 15, 2023, there had been a total of around 51,921 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in Canada. As of this time, every province and territory has reported deaths, with Quebec and Ontario reporting the highest numbers.

COVID-19 in Canada Canada has recorded almost 4.65 million coronavirus cases since the first infection in the country was confirmed on January 25, 2020. The number of cases by province shows that Ontario and Quebec have been the most severely affected. The number of daily new cases reached record highs at the end of 2021 and began to decrease as spring arrived in 2022.

COVID-19 vaccinations in Canada Seven COVID-19 vaccines have now been approved for use in Canada and vaccines are widely available. As of January 1, 2023 around 83 percent of the Canadian population had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The provinces with the highest share of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia. However, Ontario and Quebec are the provinces with the highest total number of people vaccinated.

Based on a comparison of coronavirus deaths in 210 countries relative to their population, Peru had the most losses to COVID-19 up until July 13, 2022. As of the same date, the virus had infected over 557.8 million people worldwide, and the number of deaths had totaled more than 6.3 million. Note, however, that COVID-19 test rates can vary per country. Additionally, big differences show up between countries when combining the number of deaths against confirmed COVID-19 cases. The source seemingly does not differentiate between "the Wuhan strain" (2019-nCOV) of COVID-19, "the Kent mutation" (B.1.1.7) that appeared in the UK in late 2020, the 2021 Delta variant (B.1.617.2) from India or the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) from South Africa.

The difficulties of death figures

This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths (which were corrected lowered again by the same amount on August 18). This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.

Where are these numbers coming from?

The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

This data is no longer available on this page. Information about COVID-19, and other respiratory viruses, is available through Public Health Ontario’s “Ontario Respiratory Virus Tool".

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. This impacts data captured in the column ‘Outcome1’.

Due to changes in data availability, the following variables will be removed from this file, effective Thursday April 13, 2023: ‘Case_AcquisitionInfo’, ‘Outbreak_Related’. Also due to changes in data availability, the variable ‘Outcome1’ will be equal to ‘Fatal’ (deaths due to COVID-19) or blank (all other cases)

The methodology used to count COVID-19 deaths has changed to exclude deaths not caused by COVID. This impacts data captured in the column ‘‘Outcome1’ starting with data posted to the catalogue on March 11, 2022.

As of April 15, 2023, there had been over 4.65 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Canada. As of this date, the coronavirus had been confirmed in every province and territory, with the province of Ontario having the highest number of confirmed cases.

COVID-19 vaccinations in Canada There have now been seven COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in Canada, the most widely distributed of which is manufactured by Pfizer and BioNTech. Around 63 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine have been distributed across Canada. As of January 1, 2023, around 83 percent of the population in Canada had received at least one COVID-19 vaccination dose.

Effective June 7th, 2024, this dataset will no longer be updated.This file contains data on:

1. Cumulative count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by episode date (i.e. the earliest of symptom onset, testing or reported date), including active cases and resolved cases.

2. Cumulative count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who died by date of death.

3. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reported date and episode date.

4. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by outbreak association and episode date.

5. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 newly admitted to the hospital, currently in hospital, and currently in the intensive care unit (ICU).

6. Cumulative rate of confirmed COVID-19 for Ottawa residents by age group and episode date.

7. Cumulative rate of confirmed COVID-19 for Ottawa residents by gender and episode date.

8. Daily count of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by source of infection and episode date.

Data are from the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM).

Accuracy: Points of consideration for interpretation of the data:

The percent of cases with no known epidemiological (epi) link, during the current day and previous 13 days, is calculated as the number of cases with no known epi link among all cases. The percent of cases with no known epi link is unstable during time periods with few cases.

Source of infection is based on a case's epidemiologic linkage. If no epidemiologic linkage is identified, source of infection is allocated using a hierarchy of risk factors: related to travel prior to April 1, 2020 > part of an outbreak > close or household contact of a known case > related to travel since April 1, 2020 > unspecified epidemiological link > no known source of infection > no information available.

Data are entered into and extracted by Ottawa Public Health from the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Case and Contact Management Solution (CCM). The CCM is a dynamic disease reporting system that allows for ongoing updates; data represent a snapshot at the time of extraction and may differ from previous or subsequent reports.

As the cases are investigated and more information is available, the dates are updated.

A person’s exposure may have occurred up to 14 days prior to onset of symptoms. Symptomatic cases occurring in approximately the last 14 days are likely under-reported due to the time for individuals to seek medical assessment, availability of testing, and receipt of test results.

Confirmed cases are those with a confirmed COVID-19 laboratory result as per the Ministry of Health Public health management of cases and contacts of COVID-19 in Ontario. March 25, 2020 version 6.0.

Counts will be subject to varying degrees of underreporting due to a variety of factors, such as disease awareness and medical care seeking behaviours, which may depend on severity of illness, clinical practice, changes in laboratory testing, and reporting behaviours.

Data on hospital admissions, ICU admissions and deaths are likely under-reported as these events may occur after the completion of public health follow up of cases. Cases that were admitted to hospital or died after follow-up was completed may not be captured in iPHIS or local health unit reporting tools.

Cases are associated with a specific, isolated community outbreak; an institutional outbreak (e.g. healthcare, childcare, education); or no known outbreak (i.e., sporadic).

The distribution of the source of infection among confirmed cases is impacted by the provincial guidance on testing.

Surveillance testing for COVID-19 began in long term care facilities on April 25, 2020.

Source of infection is allocated using a hierarchy: Related to travel prior to April 1, 2020 > Close contact of a known case or part of a community outbreak or source of infection is an institutional outbreak > Related to travel since April 1, 2020 > No known source of infection > Missing.

The percent of cases with unknown source, during the current day and previous 13 days, is calculated as the number of cases with no known source among cases who source of infection is not an institutional outbreak. Calculated over a 14 day period (i.e. the day of interest and the preceding 13 days). The percent of cases with no known source is unstable during time periods with few cases.

Calculated as the total number of Ottawa residents with COVID-19 excluding resolved and deceased cases. Cumulative Deaths by Date of Death - cumulative number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who died by date of death. Deaths are included whether or not COVID-19 was determined to be a contributing or underlying cause of death. Daily Cases by Reported Date – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reported date 7-Day Average of Newly Reported Cases by Reported Date – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reported date. Calculated over a 7 day period (i.e. the day of interest and the preceding 6 days). Daily Cases by Episode Date - number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by episode date.

Healthcare institutions include places such as long-term care homes, retirement homes, hospitals, other healthcare institutions (e.g. group homes, shelters). Daily Cases Not Linked to an Institutional Outbreak (i.e. Sporadic Cases) – number of Ottawa residents with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 not associated to an outbreak of COVID-19. Cases Newly Admitted to Hospital – Daily number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 admitted to hospital. Emergency room visits are not included in the number of hospital admissions. Cases Currently in Hospital – Number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 currently in hospital, includes patients in intensive care. Emergency room visits are not included in the number of hospitalizations. Cases Currently in ICU - Number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 currently being treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is a subset of the count of hospitalized cases. Cumulative Rate of COVID-19 by 10-year Age Groupings (per 100,000 pop) and Episode Date – The number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 within an age group (e.g. 0-9 years) divided by the total Ottawa population for that age group. This fraction is then multiplied by 100,000 to get a rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 population for that age group. Cumulative Rate of COVID-19 by Gender (per 100,000 pop) and Episode Date – The number of Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 of a given gender (e.g. female) divided by the total Ottawa population for that gender. This fraction is then multiplied by 100,000 to get a rate of COVID-19 per 100,000 population for that gender. Source of infection is travel by episode date: individuals who are most likely to have acquired their infection during out-of-province travel. Number of cases with missing information on source of infection by episode date: assessment for source of infection was not completed. Number of cases with no known epidemiological link by episode date: individuals who did not travel outside Ontario, are not part of an outbreak, and are not able to identify someone with COVID-19 from whom they might have acquired infection. The assessment for source of infection was completed, but no sources were identified. Source of infection is a close contact by episode date: individuals presumed to have acquired their infection following close contact (e.g. household member, friend, relative) with an individual with confirmed COVID-19. Source of infection is an outbreak by episode date: individuals who are most likely to have acquired their infection as part of a confirmed COVID-19 outbreak. Source of Infection is Unknown by Episode Date: Ottawa residents with confirmed COVID-19 who did not travel outside

Status of COVID-19 cases in Ontario This dataset compiles daily snapshots of publicly reported data on 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) testing in Ontario. Learn how the Government of Ontario is helping to keep Ontarians safe during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus outbreak. Effective April 13, 2023, this dataset will be discontinued. The public can continue to access the data within this dataset in the following locations updated weekly on the Ontario Data Catalogue: * Ontario COVID-19 testing percent positive by age group * Confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Ontario * Ontario COVID-19 testing metrics by Public Health Unit (PHU) * Ontario COVID-19 testing percent positive by age group * COVID-19 cases in hospital and ICU, by Ontario Health (OH) region * Cumulative deaths (new methodology) * Deaths Involving COVID-19 by Fatality Type For information on Long-Term Care Home COVID-19 Data, please visit: Long-Term Care Home COVID-19 Data. Data includes: * reporting date * daily tests completed * total tests completed * test outcomes * total case outcomes (resolutions and deaths) * current tests under investigation * current hospitalizations * current patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) due to COVID-related critical Illness * current patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) testing positive for COVID-19 * current patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) no longer testing positive for COVID-19 * current patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) on ventilators due to COVID-related critical illness * current patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) on ventilators testing positive for COVID-19 * current patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) on ventilators no longer testing positive for COVID-19 * Long-Term Care (LTC) resident and worker COVID-19 case and death totals * Variants of Concern case totals * number of new deaths reported (occurred in the last month) * number of historical deaths reported (occurred more than one month ago) * change in number of cases from previous day by Public Health Unit (PHU). This dataset is subject to change. Please review the daily epidemiologic summaries for information on variables, methodology, and technical considerations. ##Cumulative Deaths 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 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
