China News Service, Toronto, February 6 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) The cumulative number of new coronavirus infections reported in Canada exceeded 800,000 on February 6.

Current data shows that Canada’s daily increase in the number of cases is expected to continue to decline for the fourth week for the first time since the epidemic rebounded last fall.

　　According to data released by the Canadian public health department, as of the evening of the 6th local time, the country’s cumulative cases reached 801057, with an increase of 3301 in a single day.

73,444 cases recovered, 20,702 deaths, and 45,711 active cases.

　　Canadian Chief Public Health Officer Tan Yongshi stated in the Daily Communiqué that the data has shown that the number of daily increasing cases continues to decline, indicating that community-based prevention and control measures are working.

But she reminded that strong measures must be taken to maintain a steady decline in the epidemic.

　　The delivery of the new crown vaccine ordered by Canada has been delayed recently, which has affected the current vaccination schedule.

This has caused a lot of doubts in public opinion.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to the media in Ottawa on February 5th, saying that he understands the people's anxiety, but he assured that relevant work is still going on in a "step-by-step" manner.

He is still confident that Canada will receive the planned 6 million doses of vaccine in the first quarter of this year, and will vaccinate all willing people in the country by September.

　　As of February 5, Canada, with a population of about 38 million, has only completed about 1.04 million doses of vaccination.

　　Trudeau said that mandatory airport testing and 3-day mandatory quarantine measures for air inbound passengers will be implemented as soon as possible, while Canadian authorities are still studying how to strengthen land border epidemic prevention measures.

　　Canadian officials recently decided to continue to implement a one-year ban on cruise ships and cruise ships, including banning cruise ships from sailing in Canadian Arctic waters and banning cruise ships from sailing in all Canadian waters.

The ban will last until February 28, 2022.

　　Statistics Canada’s newly released data show that due to the upgrade of anti-epidemic measures in various places, Canada lost 213,000 jobs in January this year, most of which were part-time jobs in the retail industry.

The employment rate fell to its lowest level since August last year.

On January 14, local time, a merchant in downtown Toronto, Canada temporarily declined customers to enter, and provided customers with an appointment pick-up service.

　　After implementing various restrictive measures for a long period of time, some provinces in Canada have recently fluctuated.

Inland Alberta has decided that it will implement the first round of relaxation measures from February 8, including the restoration of catering services in the catering industry, and some fitness and sports training activities.

Ontario officials revealed that the province plans to announce measures to restart the socio-economic system in the near future.

At present, the province is still implementing restrictive measures such as the "City Closure Order" and "Home Order".

　　However, British Columbia on the west coast announced on the 5th that in view of the unstable situation of the epidemic, the current epidemic prevention measures will be extended indefinitely.

　　Canada reported its first confirmed case on January 25, 2020. The cumulative number of cases reached 100,000 on June 18, and exceeded 200,000 in the next four months, and reached 300,000 in less than one month. It took more than 400,000 cases in 18 days.

After that, it took 15 days to increase to 500,000 and 600,000 cases, and it took 13 days to increase to 700,000 cases, but this time it took 21 days to increase to 800,000 cases.
