Trudeau said it will not be possible to return to normalcy until a vaccine is available, which could take between 12-18 months.
Canadians must be vigilant for at least a year, the time it may take for a coronavirus vaccine to become available, Justin Trudeau warned Thursday, as his government projected the disease could kill 11,000-22,000 people there.
He said it will not be possible to return to normalcy until a vaccine is available, which he said could take between 12-18 months. "There will likely be smaller outbreaks for a number of months after that. This will be the new normal. Until a vaccine is developed," he said. For days now Trudeau has been under pressure to release nationwide figures on Canada's experience with the pandemic sweeping the globe.The federal government projections said the country could see between 934,000 and 1.9 million cases of COVID-19 by the time the pandemic ends, assuming Canadians observe strict social distancing and other safety measures over the next few months.
