Reported cases are cumulative and include both confirmed and presumptive positive cases. Repatriated cases are included in the total but not shown in the map below.


Summary of COVID-19 in Canada


Daily COVID-19 Trends

These charts may be viewed on a linear scale (the default) or a logarithmic scale. The choice of scale changes the interpretation of the plot. Select the scale using the button above. Additionally, the time range of data displayed may be changed using the range slider below the plot. By default, the entire range of data is shown.


Metrics by Province/Territory

RP = repatriated travellers.

Provincial Comparisons


The Comparisons tab is intended to provide recent average daily values for cases, deaths, and testing by province. These values are available as either raw numbers (absolute scale) or adjusted for population (per-capita scale). For example, the 7-day average for daily per-capita cases indicates the average number of new cases reported each day in a province over the past 7 days.

Map of COVID-19 in Canada


The map provides data on both COVID-19 cases and deaths specific to local health regions, and are available as either raw numbers (absolute scale) or adjusted for population (per-capita scale). These data can be filtered using the date range selector in the side menu. The bins are based on quintiles.


Saskatchewan transitioned to using new health region (HR) boundaries on August 4, 2020, going from 6 HRs to 13. These new bounaries will be displayed on the map for date ranges beginning 2020-01-25 and ending on 2020-08-04 or later and date ranges beginning after 2020-08-03. Otherwise, the old HR boundaries will be used. Note that when displaying the old boundaries, values for dates after 2020-08-03 rely on case and death numbers that have been approximately mapped from the new HR boundaries to the old HR boundaries.

Vaccine Gap (Administered versus Distributed)


By default, the vaccine gap plot shows smoothed values of the vaccine distribution time series to account for reporting delays in the distribution numbes. This can be disabled by clicking the "Smoothed distributed" button.

On July 17, Quebec revised their definition of recovered, causing a massive spike on that day. We are reviewing the feasibility of retroactively editing this time series.

Provinces occasionally report negative cumulative testing numbers. We aim to reconcile these inconsistencies in future data updates, if possible.


Specific Testing Metrics Used by Province/Territory

The COVID-19 Canada Open Data Working Group collects information on confirmed and presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 in Canada. Our datasets are updated nightly. All data are exclusively collected from publicly available sources including government reports, government websites and news media.

Raw Data

Raw data can be downloaded from GitHub. Recommended citation for the dataset: Berry I, Soucy J-PR, Tuite A, Fisman D. Open access epidemiologic data and an interactive dashboard to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak in Canada. CMAJ. 2020 Apr 14;192(15):E420. doi: https://doi.org/10.1503/cmaj.75262.

Interpreting Maps

The case/mortality maps show case and mortaltiy absolute or per capita counts by health region. Darker colours indicate a higher number of cases/mortality in that health region than ligher colours. If health region is not reported for a case/mortality, it is not included in the map but is detailed at the bottom of the page in text.

  • Provincial and health region population data from Statistics Canada 2019 estimates.

  • The new Saskatchewan health regions (introduced 2020-08-04) use unofficial estimates of 2020 population values provided by Statistics Canada and may differ from official data released by Statistics Canada at a later date.
