Your weekly COVID-19 update

Every Tuesday, the Maclean's daily newsletter will catch you up on what you need to know about Canada's fight against the coronavirus. This week, Patricia Treble focuses on one story worth watching, and you can get a sneak peek here. You'll also get the same mix of Maclean's stories you expect every day if you scroll down below.

Just as they do Canadian economics and politics, the Big Four provinces dominate the current COVID-19 statistics. British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec account so far for an average of 96 per cent of Canada’s cases in September. In the week ended on Monday, those four reported 7,205 new cases.

In April, B.C. accounted for just 2.4 per cent of the 45,623 cases that Canada reported that month, while Alberta’s share was 10 per cent; virtually all the other cases were in Ontario and Quebec.
