Objetive To analyze the epidemiological data and the main government measures adopted against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods Epidemiologic study built with data from the integrated Public Health Information System (iPHIS) and the official Government of Canada website in a time frame from January to July 2020.

Results Toronto presents the first case of COVID 19 on January 23rd and until July 1st, 2020, it records a number of 14 468 cases, 12.574 recovered cases, 1.100 deaths and 171 institutional outbreaks. About 53,04% of the cases were female, aged 40-59 years (29,81%), followed by 20-39 years (28,37%). Contagion forms were analyzed: 56,40% had close contact with a case, 24,23% in the community, 10,30% in health services, 5,58% while traveling and 3,49% in institutions. Economic and financial actions, travel measures, support for Canadians abroad, public education, research and technology were developed.

Conclusion The COVID-19 is a serious threat to public health around the world. Canada has a strong history of pandemic planning and has worked together with public health for its developed actions to become adaptable based on evolution, outbreak containment and prevention of further spread.

Aproximadamente el 53,04% de los casos fueron de mujeres entre los 40 y 59 años (29,81%), seguidas de las de 20 a 39 años (28,37%). Se analizaron formas de contagio: 56,40% tuvo contacto cercano con un caso, 24,23% en la comunidad; 10,30%, en servicios de salud; 5,58%, en viajes, y 3,49% en instituciones. Se desarrollaron acciones económicas y financieras, medidas de viaje, apoyo a los canadienses en el exterior, educación pública, investigación y tecnología.

Conclusión El COVID-19 es una grave amenaza para la salud pública en todo el mundo. Canadá tiene una sólida historia de planificación para pandemias y ha trabajado junto con la salud pública para que sus acciones desarrolladas se vuelvan adaptables en función de la evolución, la contención de brotes y la prevención de una mayor propagación.
