Ottawa, July 9 (RHC)-- Canada handled the novel coronavirus outbreak better than many of its allies, including the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said.

Canada -- with a population one-tenth the size of the U.S. -- has so far recorded 106,167 positive cases and 8,711 deaths, and Trudeau said the situation was stabilising, although some hot spots remained.

In contrast, the U.S. has recorded more than three million cases and 131,336 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
