Canada has officially recorded more than 100-thousand cases of COVID-19.
Ontario reported 173 new cases of COVID-19 today, pushing the tally past the grim milestone.
Public health experts say measures to flatten the curve of the pandemic and prevent cases from overwhelming health-care systems were largely successful.
But they say the 100-thousand cases and more than 5,300 deaths suggest Canada missed out on some crucial opportunities to limit the virus’ impact early on.
Deaths due to COVID-19 in Canada have been largely concentrated in long-term care facilities.
