Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the government has released new modelling data on the coronavirus pandemic. The data shows that Canada is making progress in combating the spread of the virus, Trudeau said.

Health Canada’s latest short-term modelling shows that COVID-19 could cause 7,700 to 9,400 deaths by June 15. The number of cases could rise to between 97,990 and 107,454.

More than 93,000 Canadians have been diagnosed with COVID-19 as of Thursday. More than 7,500 Canadians have succumbed to the illness.

“That’s an encouraging sign that the virus is slowing and in some places even stopping,” he said in an address outside Rideau Cottage on Thursday.
