Canada's COVID-19 case number is expected to rise over the 200,000 level on Monday.

As of Sunday afternoon, Canada reported a total of 198,124 cases of COVID-19 and 9,760 deaths, according to CTV.

The country reported 1,803 new cases Sunday noon. Quebec province accounted for 1,094 of the new cases, marking the third day in a row the province had more than 1,000 new cases.

Ontario province reported the second-highest number of new cases, with 658 reported. Manitoba province had 44.

Of 10 provinces and three territories, some provinces and territories have not reported new cases over the weekend.

"We've sacrificed a lot and learned a lot during these many months of living with COVID-19. Our challenge now and going forward is to remain united in our efforts to get all of Canada back on a 'slow burn'," Chief Public Health Officer of Canada Theresa Tam said in a statement on Sunday.

"Our goal is to reduce cases of COVID-19 infection to manageable levels. But public health cannot do this alone. Everyone is needed on the frontlines, from essential workers to volunteers to businesses, workplaces, and everyday citizens across Canada," Tam added.
