Governments across Canada showed signs of settling in for longer periods of physical distancing on Tuesday as they stepped up efforts to protect the country’s most vulnerable residents from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $2 billion in government funding to purchase much-needed personal protective equipment for the country’s front-line medical staff, adding the feds were preparing for worst-case scenarios in their efforts to ensure key equipment is in place across the health-care system.
“Of greatest concern at the moment relates to the introduction and spread of the virus in enclosed settings where vulnerable people reside,” said Dr. Theresa Tam. “We currently have a number of ongoing outbreaks in long-term care homes, cases in First Nations and Inuit communities, and in corrections facilities.”
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, meanwhile, signalled an outbreak among health-care workers who live in Ontario but work in the United States. She referenced cases in the border city of Windsor, Ont., but few details were immediately available.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau walks with Chief Medical Officer Theresa Tam and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in Ottawa on March 11, 2020.
Don't you wish now that you were real journalists and held PMJT accountable rather than parrot his identity politics? How many lives could have been saved if you did your jobs!
The new normal is here with even more humanity, care, banging of our pots on our door step, singing from balconies, and heros without capes to come. 🙏🏽🤲🏽
