'We were very much learning on the way as we responded,” the prime minister said.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government began preparing for a possible pandemic as soon as it received the first alert about a mysterious cluster of pneumonia cases in China on New Year’s Eve.

“Every step of the way, we were informed by our experts as to how to keep Canadians safe — what needed to be done, what measures would be helpful in continuing to support Canadians as we were aware of this potential,” Trudeau said Friday during a news conference in Gogama, Ont.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wear his mask as he takes part in a ground breaking event at the Iamgold Cote Gold mining site in Gogama, Ont., on Friday.

Similar warnings were added for Iran and Italy in early March as the pandemic surged in those countries. Conservative health critic Michelle Rempel Garner said Friday that Hajdu should be fired for not doing more earlier. As of Friday, Canada has had 134,924 positive COVID-19 cases and 9,163 deaths. Two weeks later, the number of domestic cases exceeded travel cases and every province had started to see them.“Ever since we got information about the cluster of pneumonia in Wuhan, domestic preparedness already began to escalate,” she said. Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam responds to a question during a news conference on Friday.

“As we’ve seen with this pandemic things change very rapidly, so very soon after lots of public health measures evolved and escalated at every level of public health in Canada,” she said.

Taiwan told the WHO December first. They ignored them about the WUHAN OUTBREAK. Response came months later. By then, it had spread worldwide. Does Tam also work FOR the WHO? Head of WHO and Tam should be removed. China is running the WHO. Trudeau, step down.

This government needs to resign along eith Trudeau and the rest of his corrupt government that believe in controlling people the way that they have.

That’s bloody racist & irresponsible. cdnpoli Canada

Pretty hard to be perfect when Trump was playing this down. He is still playing it down but overall I think Canada has done as good a job with this covid as any other country and a lot better than most.

I think the Canadian government and most provincial governments did a great job of keeping Canadians informed and safe. As the virus was novel, emerging information continuously drove the messaging, which was updated as necessary. That’s good science.
