COVID-19: Trudeau says feds will fund provincial testing, tracing and data-sharing

OTTAWA — The federal government will fund provincial efforts to test people for COVID-19, track the contacts of those who test positive, and help different jurisdictions share data, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday.

Statistics Canada has also provided 1,700 interviewers who can make 20,000 calls per day to help with contact-tracing efforts, Trudeau said. But to do that, Canada needs to step up its testing for the virus, he said. Canada nominally has the capacity to test 60,000 people per day for COVID-19, but has been averaging only about 28,000 tests per day.

Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu said Friday her department has been working with provinces to make sure they have the materials needed to meet their testing goals, including swabs, reagents, and people to do the work. Provinces also need to improve the way they share information about the spread of the virus, Trudeau said.

They called Jagmeet naive for trying to help provinces. Now Liberals will rejoice and praise Trudeau. The machine rolls on

But it’s provincial jurisdiction! Liberals really care about staying in their lane, this is just confusing. It must be Singh’s fault.

This is a bad idea if freedom is the goal for our society, and a good idea if tyranny is the objective. Government must not be able to track and monitor every move of its citizens.

No way Bud!

And we wouldn’t be in this mess if trude has DONE HIS JOB and closed the border and airports EARLIER, rather than flooding the country with travellers from China etc. He made the mess MUCH worse killing scores of Canadians with his indecisiveness...

I refused to be “tracked” by any govt agency under the guise of cough cough. Ridiculous. The less the government knows, the better. No 🤬’ way.

The same as they took over control of long term health care ? Looooool.... Trudeau would talk about staging a coup on Wards Island if it got him positive press coverage from the lickspittles in the national press corps. Keep licking.

By printing more money and selling some non-essential kidneys on the black market.
