Meanwhile, a number of provinces are gearing up to enter the first phase of reopening their economies this coming week, but health officials continue to remind Canadians of the importance of staying home and social distancing as much as possible. 

"While we can continue to be cautiously optimistic, it is important that everyone remains aware of our duty to protect one another, especially those who are most vulnerable, as we navigate the next few weeks," Dr. Tam said in a statement yesterday. 

"Provinces and territories are outlining their approaches to gradually lift measures and open up the economy. Please consult your provincial and territorial authorities to learn about the restrictions in your region and continue to stay home if you are sick, wash your hands frequently and practice physical distancing."
