Here's how known coronavirus case rates compare throughout Canada

As of midday, April 7, Canada has seen a total of 17,063 known coronavirus cases, according to the Government of Canada’s latest COVID-19 update.

While that total pales in comparison to some of the hardest hit countries, like the USA, Italy, China, and Spain, it fails to account for the numerous cases that may have gone unconfirmed due to those feeling ill simply staying home, or not being eligible for limited testing.

Still, it’s the most official look Canadians have to understand the virus’ trajectory in Canada, something that we’ve been keeping a close eye on for the past few weeks.

And while we have been on top of new known case totals for each of our covered provinces ever since the pandemic began, we decided to take a look at exactly how Canada’s known cases break down by province and territory.

The numbers listed include publicly reported confirmed and probably cases, according to the Government of Canada, as of April 7.

As seen in the map above, Quebec has been nearly as hard hit as the rest of the country combined.

Quebec

Known cases: 8,580
Deaths: 121

Quebec saw a large increase in cases beginning March 22, and while it may contain around half of Canada’s known total of cases, it has only the second-most for coronavirus-related deaths.

Ontario

Known cases: 4,726
Deaths: 153

Ontario has seen the most fatalities as a result of the ongoing pandemic of any Canadian province, seeing a large spike in known cases on March 29.

Alberta

Known cases: 1,348
Deaths: 24

Alberta’s cases numbers have been steadily rising throughout the end of March and start of April, though has seen less deaths than BC.

BC

Known cases: 1,266
Deaths: 39

After a sharp upwards trajectory in the middle of March — being the first Canadian province to see dozens of confirmed cases — BC has actually seen a slight decrease in the amount of new cases per day.

Nova Scotia

Known cases: 310
Deaths: 1

Nova Scotia has been hit far harder than its maritime neighbours, though has only seen one death as a result of the over 300 confirmed cases.

Saskatchewan

Known cases: 253

Saskatchewan has seen a steady increase in confirmed cases since March 15, though without an international airport remaining open to incoming travellers, has managed to see significantly fewer cases than Alberta.
