Trudeau says Canada needs to ‘buckle down’ as cases surge, vaccines delayed
CNNCNN — Canada got a one-two punch Friday as public health officials said vaccine deliveries would be delayed and its Covid-19 measures still aren’t working to control a resurging virus. “We have yet to see the kind of widespread and sustained declines in daily case counts that would indicate we’re bringing the pandemic under control nationally,” said Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer during a news briefing Friday. Health officials released new modeling Friday that showed Covid-19 remains on a “rapid growth trajectory” in most of Canada. This is unfortunate, however such delays and issues are to be expected when global supply chains are stretched well beyond their limit,” said Anita Anand, Canada’s procurement minister during a news conference Friday.
