The federal government has approved the NHL's proposal of a cohort quarantine approach for players entering Canada, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Friday.

The cohort quarantine, which keeps players separate from the general public, would allow the NHL to bypass the traditional 14-day quarantine for anyone entering Canada.

When asked what would happen if a player or staff member tests positive, Canada's chief public health officer said instructions from the specific local health authority must be followed. "I think that's the critical aspect of it. Through the protocol which is continuously reviewed, the idea is through regular testing to reduce the actual impact of the number of people that would have to be removed from the game itself. I think ultimately the decision has to be based on the public health assessment at the time."

Feds to begin testing 'completely voluntary' national contact tracing app, PM saysPrime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that the federal government will begin testing a 'completely voluntary' mobile contact tracing app that can be used nationwide. The app will compile confirmed positive COVID-19 cases and notify Canadians when they’ve been in proximity to someone who has the virus.

Is it developed by the Chinese too?

Feds invite comment on information law amid concerns about pandemic slowdownsThe Trudeau government is inviting Canadians to say what they think of the federal law that allows the public to request information from federal departments and agencies. First freedom of information request: Trudeau's costume budget. As always 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 We should be allowed to request any & all information from the Fed Government that we want to. That's what open and transparent means. The Liberals should have NO problem with this since that is Trudeau's mantra. Why even the need to look into it, unless he's lying about it now?
