It's no secret the country is trying to fight back against COVID-19 cases, but it is proving difficult as not only are cases rising expeditiously but deaths are following suit. 

Worse, it seems that Canada has seen more COVID-19 cases last week than it did in the first few months of the pandemic.

31,509 COVID-19 cases in the last seven days

Figures from the Government of Canada shows the grim reality of where we are headed as a country if we don't work harder to curb the spread of the virus.

The total COVID-19 cases seen in the last seven days mirrors that of the beginning stages of the pandemic.

Canada saw 31,509 COVID-19 cases reported the past week as of November 13.

Comparatively, on April 18 the country had reported 31,884 total cases. Unlike the more recent data, that wasn't over seven days, it was over several months since the first-ever case was recorded on January 31, 2020. 

As of now, Canada has seen well over 250,000 cases and more than 10,000 people have died as a result of the virus.
