Ottawa said late on Saturday that 13 people had died from the respiratory illness caused by the virus, but by 9 a.m. ET on Sunday that number had grown to 19. The number of confirmed cases rose to 1,302 from 1,099, with a further 69 people listed as probably suffering from the highly contagious virus.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu said on Saturday that “Canadians need to understand this isn’t about two weeks of social distancing. This is about months of social distancing.”

😢😢😢

talk about sensationalism! DEATH TOLL JUMPS 50%!!! that's 9 more elderly with compromised immune systems. Maybe if canucks took it seriously and wouldn't throw caution to the wind like the Italians did.

The US will owe us and the world reparations.
