OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday would not rule out closing borders to combat a coronavirus outbreak, while the chief medical officer said time was running out to prevent a spike in cases.
Asked whether Canada might shut its borders to Europe or the United States, Trudeau told CTV: “We are not taking anything off the table.” “With cases rapidly increasing in Canada ... our window to flatten the curve of the epidemic is narrowing,” she told reporters. Tam said it was not time to declare a national public health emergency, noting most cases involved people who had been abroad.There are now cases in all 10 provinces. Quebec Premier Francois Legault ordered the temporary closure of businesses where people gather, while restaurants can stay open, but only at half capacity.
Canada has already boosted monitoring at airports and is urging citizens to return from abroad while they can.
