OTTAWA - Canada on Friday dramatically ramped up its measures to combat the spread of the new coronavirus, advising citizens against non-essential foreign travel and promising “significant” financial aid for Canadians in coming days.
In an unprecedented outdoor press conference held in front of his Ottawa residence where he will spend 14 days with his wife and three children, Trudeau promised to help people who take a financial hit because of the outbreak. Reporters hurled questions to him from a distance. Canada reported 157 cases of the virus, up from 138 on Thursday, with one death. Seven of Canada’s 10 provinces have recorded infections of the respiratory illness.Canada’s chief medical officer urged Canadians to cancel all non-essential travel abroad, and said travelers should consider self-isolation upon return to the country beyond the mandatory measures already in place for certain regions.
The new budget, which was supposed to be presented on March 30, will be delayed. No new date had yet been set. However, Finance Minister Bill Morneau will make an announcement on Friday, Trudeau said.
