OTTAWA - The Canadian coronavirus death toll passed the 5,000 mark on Tuesday and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said major reforms were needed for seniors’ residences, where more than 80% of the victims lived.
Long-term care homes in Ontario and Quebec - the two most populous provinces - have been particularly hard hit. Trudeau also said Canada was “looking at stronger measures” to ensure the novel coronavirus was not spread by people crossing the long border with the United States, but did not give details. The two nations have agreed to temporarily ban non-essential travel under a deal that will expire on May 21.
