The more contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 could cause a greater than expected resurgence of cases across Canada later this year, public health officials said on Friday.

They also told reporters that a two-month forecast showed the epidemic was projected to decline nationally, but could resurge if re-opening of businesses increased contact rates by 50% or more.
