The COVID-19 pandemic is currently a global outbreak of an untreatable strain of coronavirus that was first identified in late 2019 that has impacted both health and the economy. In Canada - 151,671 total cases and 9,261 deaths have been recorded to date while total job losses have reached a peak of 3 million and unemployment of 10.2% Each province in Canada has imposed province-specific restrictions to tackle the COVID-19 outbreak.

新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫情目前已在全球范围内暴发，该毒株于2019年末首次被发现，目前尚无特效治疗方案，其对全球卫生健康与经济体系均造成了显著冲击。截至目前，加拿大累计报告确诊病例151671例、死亡病例9261例；失业总人数峰值达300万，失业率攀升至10.2%。加拿大各省份均出台了针对本省的防疫限制措施，以应对此次新冠疫情。本项目拟整合加拿大新冠疫情相关数据与加拿大政府经济数据，评估各省份在疫情期间的防控成效，并总结可用于帮助加拿大更好应对未来大流行病的经验教训。
