The data contained in the dashboard describes the COVID-19 cases and deaths by province and health regions. The dashboard is developed by the Public Health Infobase in collaboration with the Health Portfolio Operation Center and the Public Health Geomatics Unit of the Public Health Agency of Canada. The data is provided by the COVID-19 Canada COVID Open Data Working Group (CCODWG) and by the Provinces and Territories through the Public Health Agency of Canada. This health region data is verified by the Public Health Agency of Canada in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada.

Canada's response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been steadfast—keeping up with new scientific evidence and discoveries which allows us to adapt public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and providing guidance to health care workers so they have the appropriate tools they need to treat patients. Yet, there is still more to learn about COVID-19.
People infected with COVID-19 can shed the virus through their stool, even if they don't have any symptoms. Testing a community's sewage (wastewater) can tell us if COVID-19 is increasing or decreasing in that community. Our scientists have developed a pan-Canadian wastewater network to monitor the spread of COVID-19 in Canada. This is in collaboration with provincial, territorial and municipal governments and academia across Canada.
Data products about the epidemiological, social and economic dimensions of the outbreak. Includes datasets, dashboards, statistics, analyses, trends, charts and maps. Also includes a list of locations where people may have been exposed to the virus.
What you, and what communities can do to lower the spread of COVID-19 in settings including social services, workplaces, outdoors, community, religious, transport and remote and Indigenous communities.
Parents, caregivers and children across the country are facing new challenges as the COVID-19 pandemic affects our daily work and home routines. Schools, daycares and most workplaces have closed, and children and parents are suddenly at home full-time.
As COVID-19 continues to circulate in Canada and more people are getting vaccinated, different public health measures (PHMs) may be required, based on the level of transmission and other key indicators outlined below. This interim guidance provides considerations for adjusting PHMs in the context of COVID-19 vaccination in Canada. Governments and public health authorities (PHAs) across the country need to plan for these adjustments, as vaccination coverage increases in the population, the number of new and active cases decreases, and as pressures on the healthcare system and public health ease.
To understand this new disease, we need to advance research and technology development in order to slow, and eventually stop the spread of this infection. That is why the Government of Canada has mobilized Canada's research and scientific communities in response to the spread of COVID-19 at the national and international level.
