It's about way more than flattening the curve.

That from the nation's top physician, who wants Canadians to harden their resolve and make every effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Theresa Tam says the case count is expected to continue to rise and efforts at social distancing need to continue.

The effort is underway to make sure there isn't a sudden sharp increase in the number of cases, so the spread of the virus is slowed over time.

Public health experts call it ''flattening the curve.''
