OTTAWA (Reuters) – A visibly unhappy Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday urged premiers of the country’s 10 provinces to take stricter measures against a second wave of the coronavirus sweeping the country.
“We are seeing record spikes this morning across the country so I urge the premiers and the mayors to please do the right thing – act now to protect public health,” he told a news conference. Over the past week Canada has posted a daily average of more than 3,800 cases.
