The country's high vaccination rate - with around 82% of the population having received two doses - and a falling death rate are also factors.Covid-19 cases are slowly rising in Canada and signs point to a resurgence ahead of autumn, Mr Duclos said, but he added this is "largely explained by the domestic transmission of the virus".
