Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared that Canada is winning the fight against the new coronavirus, with the latest data showing new cases in decline, AFP reported.

But he also warned that the battle is not over yet.

“The data shows that we are continuing to make progress in the fight against this virus in many communities, the number of new cases is low, and we can trace where they came from,” Trudeau told a daily briefing.

“That's an encouraging sign that the virus is slowing, and in some places, even stopping,” he said. “But I want to be very clear: We're not out of the woods.”
