3月18日，加拿大首席公共卫生官Theresa Tam表示，全国至少有50,000人接受了COVID-19检测。


加拿大人在中国，伊朗，意大利，埃及和美国等其他国家旅行时感染了该病。


在加拿大国内，与旅行有关的某些情况导致近距离接触者之间的人对人传播。 加拿大还发现了社区蔓延的迹象，这意味着一些患者没有近期旅行史，也没有与COVID-19或去过高感染区的人密切接触。 因此，尚不清楚他们如何感染该疾病。


据报道，不列颠哥伦比亚省，艾伯塔省，安大略省和萨斯喀彻温省有社区扩散的迹象。


由于爆发，加拿大的每个省和地区（新不伦瑞克省，曼尼托巴省和新斯科舍省除外）都宣布处于公共卫生状态或州紧急状态。


截至3月18日，全国至少有50,000人接受了COVID-19检测，确诊655例， 9人病逝。

On March 18, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Theresa Tam said there have been at least 50,000 people who have been tested for COVID-19 across the country. Canadians have contracted the disease while travelling in other countries such as China, Iran, Italy, Egypt and the United States, among other destinations.

Certain cases in Canada, which are linked to travel, have led to human-to-human transmission between close contacts. Canadians has also seen signs of community spread, meaning some patients have no recent travel history or close contact with someone who either has COVID-19 or has been to a highly infected area. Therefore, it’s unknown how they contracted the disease.

Signs of community spread have been reported in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan.

Because of the outbreak, each of the Canada’s provinces and territories, excluding New Brunswick, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia have declared either a public health or state emergency.
