Now plunged into a second wave, Quebec is still the place where the coronavirus is rife in Canada. There have been 104 infections per 100,000 inhabitants for the past two weeks. This is twice as much as in Ontario, which is the second most affected province. Internationally, Canada is doing relatively well with 52 new cases per 100,000 population. This ranks it 57th in the world for countries with more than one million inhabitants, according to data from Europe’s Center for Disease Prevention and Control. If we compare Quebec with other countries, it would be in 32nd place. Other countries are therefore currently experiencing much worse situations, such as Israel and France.

The worst rates per capita
- Israel is the hottest spot on the planet, with the worst rate of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In mid-September, a new, very strict general lockdown was imposed across the country at least until October 11.
- Bahrain is the second hot spot in terms of new cases. The country has seen its number of cases increase rapidly after a religious festival was held in late August, where it was difficult to comply with distancing measures.
- In Argentina, there has been a steady increase in the number of cases since the start of the pandemic. This pace still does not seem to decrease.
- The France last week imposed more stringent measures to limit the spread of the virus, including the closure of bars and restaurants in the Marseille region.
The greatest number of new cases
- TheIndia is the country with by far the highest number of new cases in the past two weeks. More than 1.1 million infections have been reported, bringing the total number of cases to 6.3 million.
- The United States, in the midst of the presidential election campaign, followed with more than 603,000 new infections in the past two weeks, bringing the total to 7.2 million cases.
- The Brazil ranks 3rd with almost 400,000 new cases recorded in the past two weeks, pushing the total number of infections to 4.8 million.
Methodology :
To determine where the hotspots of the pandemic are, we ranked the number of cases reported in the last two weeks per 100,000 population for countries with more than one million inhabitants, as well as for each Canadian province.
