Canada Official: 4th Virus Wave Possible if Steps Not Taken
Posted on 2021-07-31 13:34:04
Canada's chief public health officer says the country could face a fourth wave of COVID-19, driven by the Delta variant, by the end of summer if restrictions are eased too quickly and before enough people have been vaccinated.
Dr. Theresa Tam said robust vaccination rates have helped reduced hospitalizations and deaths but inoculations must rise further to avoid renewed strain on hospitals and the health-care system.
She urged younger adults to become fully vaccinated as soon as possible, saying they continue to lag among age groups but are associated with the highest rates of disease transmission.
