Justin Trudeau claims Britain is facing a 'very serious' Covid third wave and 'vaccines alone are not enough to keep us safe' as cases soar in Canada and he is criticised for slow roll-out of inoculations

• Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has claimed that Britain is facing a 'very serious third wave' of coronavirus
• Yet cases in Canada recently hit 207.3 per million people, exceeding 206.7 per million recorded in the US
• Canada's vaccine rollout has been sluggish, with just a fifth inoculated, while 32m Britons have been jabbed
• Mr Trudeau urged MPs to set an example by engaging in 'right kinds of behaviour', such as social distancing

Cases in the North American country, which was praised by pundits for its early response to the coronavirus outbreak, recently hit 207.3 per million people, according to data from Johns Hopkins University - exceeding even the staggering 206.7 per million recorded in the US.

On Monday, Canada recorded a record 10,859 new cases compared to 2,491 cases on the same day in the UK - a resurgence which infectious disease experts blame on 'pandemic fatigue', the early lifting of lockdown curbs and the appearance of more transmissible variants.

While Britain roars ahead with its hugely successful vaccine rollout, with more than 32 million people having already received a first dose and now being offered the jab to over-45s in England, Canada has inoculated just a fifth of its population against the virus.
