Epidemiological Summary for period of January 2 2021 to January 8 2021 ​

Restriction levels are determined by province based on percent positivity, weekly incident rate and cumulative rate per 100,000 population.

Helpful information to read and understand the tables:

Percent Positivity (last 7 days):	Number of tests performed for COVID-19 in a certain period (during the last 7 days) that were positive
Cumulative Rate per 100,000 population:	Total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the report for the region reported per 100,000 population [(total cases/region population)*100 000]
Weekly Incidence Rate per 100,000 population:	Number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases reported per 100,000 population in a certain period (past 7 days) [(cases in the period / total population of the period)*100 000]
