Canada has reached a grim milestone in the case count for COVID-19.

The number of infections has surpassed 300,000, less than a month after Canada crossed the 200,000 threshold October 19th.

Health experts are alarmed, but not surprised, by the rapid growth over the last few weeks.

Canada's new daily case numbers are also rising, suggesting that even as some cases are being resolved, the spread is quickening.

The province added 1,218 new cases of COVID-19 and 25 new deaths.

Ontario reported 1,487 new COVID-19 cases, as well as 10 new deaths.
