Canada has surpassed 700,000 cases of COVID-19.
There were 6,479 cases of the virus reported nationwide on Saturday for a total of 702,186 diagnoses.
It comes less than two weeks after the country reached 600,000 confirmed cases of the virus on Jan. 3.
More than half a million people across the country have received vaccinations against COVID-19.
But some provinces are preparing to change their inoculation game plans as drugmaker Pfizer-BioNTech delays international deliveries.
Federal Procurement Minister Anita Anand says she’s urging the company to get its deliveries back on schedule as quickly as possible.
Only 21 countries have recorded more cases of the deadly virus than Canada, according to data available on the World Health Organization’s website.
