The COVID-19 pandemic has had a variety of different effects on national economies and
populations around the globe. There have been deaths, people have been quarantined, and it has
caused societal unrest. When compared to what took place in the United States, Italy, or even
Russia, for that matter, the situation in Canada does not even come close to being the worst. In

B.1.1.7 variant; however, it was subsequently discovered that all 19 patients tested positive for
the variant. This led to the revision of the original theory (CDC, 2022). The variant has a high
potential for transmission, with a 50% increase in transmissibility over the B.1.1.7 form that was
found in the United States (CDC, 2022). There were many reports of cases coming from the
provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. As cases of community transmission
