Supplementary notes

Statista's COVID-19 content is compiled from various sources. Although all of these sources are reliable, this may result in discrepancies in figures among different statistics, graphs, and charts. The source provides the following notes: "This information is based on data our provincial and territorial partners published on cases, deaths, and testing. The numbers provided reflect cases, deaths up to December 10, 2022 and tests up to November 22, 2022. For the most up to date data for any province, territory or city, please visit their website. The number of cases or deaths reported may differ slightly from those on the provincial and territorial websites as these websites may update historic case and death counts as new information becomes available.
Starting April 7, 2022, British Columbia reports all deaths within 30 days of a positive COVID-19 test, regardless of the cause of death. As a result, deaths are now over-estimated for BC and should not be directly compared to other jurisdictions or to earlier data from BC.
As of April 11, 2022, Nunavut no longer publishes regular COVID-19 updates.
