Hi Flora That is a reference to the idiom '(open) a can of worms'. A can of worms is a situation that has a lot of problems associated with it, but you are not aware of the problems until you begin to deal with the situation. So, what you posted means something like this: We have begun dealing with the situation and now we have a huge number of problems.
