PM Justin Trudeau feels normalcy can only return with a vaccine in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Apr, 2020 06:09 PM

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says while he hopes to spend some time with his family this Easter weekend, his focus is on getting new emergency aid legislation passed. He says discussions with opposition parties continue on the bill, which backs up the new wage subsidy program. Trudeau says it is important to debate the democratic processes that could be put in place in the COVID-19 era, which the opposition wants to have.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it will take months of a continued and determined effort to avoid a COVID-19 worse-case scenario. Trudeau  commented on models released this morning forecasting how the continued spread of the pandemic will pan out based on how aggressively Canadians follow physical distancing protocols.

    He said Canada is at a crossroads and the outcome will depend on how people behave, given there could be ongoing waves of the coronavirus. He said this means physical distancing is and will be Canada's new reality until a vaccine is found.
