Canadian officials are expected to provide an update Thursday on the country's COVID-19 vaccine rollout and the government's response to the pandemic.

Canada saw 7,148 new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, as provinces struggle to contain the new, more transmissible variants of the virus. Provincial health officials also reported 32 new fatalities related to COVID-19.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Canada’s top doctor Theresa Tam said the spread of the disease and its severity is “accelerating.” However, she said as the country’s supply of COVID-19 vaccines accelerates, the “end of this crisis is nearing.”

So far, Canada has administered 6,991,804 doses of the approved COVID-19 vaccines.
