According to CTVNews.ca’s tracker, Northwest Territories ranks first when it comes to recent cases per capita, with 2,793 average daily cases per million residents -- an infection rate higher than any other jurisdiction in Canada or the United States.
With several Canadian provinces set to lift mask mandates in the next few weeks, health experts say the timing is right for strict measures to be eased.
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador have all set dates for the end of provincial mask mandates after national health officials said the peak of Omicron in Canada has passed.
Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Toronto, said that a province-by-province approach to lifting or reinstating pandemic measures is appropriate as Canada moves forward.
