(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Over 12,000 deaths in Canada, “customs closure” measures extended again
China News Service, Toronto, November 29 (Reporter Yu Ruidong) Canada has reported a total of 370,000 new coronavirus infections on November 29 and more than 12,000 deaths. The Canadian government announced today that it will continue to extend entry “customs” measures.
The Federal Government of Canada announced that entry restrictions for foreign travelers from all countries and regions other than the United States will extend until January 21, 2021; and the entry restrictions for US citizens or foreign travelers from the United States will extend until December 21 of this year. But it can still be extended at that time. Along with the extension of the entry restraining order is the mandatory 14-day quarantine order for all immigrants.
The Canadian government implemented relevant entry restrictions in mid-March this year, but immediate family members of Canadian citizens, professionals in certain “essential” industries, and international students can be exempted.
The Canadian government also stated that it is reviewing the relevant entry restrictions to accommodate the preparation of high-level international individual sporting events.
According to data released by the Canadian Public Health Agency, as of the night of November 29, Canada had reported a total of 370,278 cases, with 5,468 new cases in a single day; 294,411 recovered cases, 12,032 deaths and 63,835 active cases.
Canadian Public Health Director Tan Yongshi said in a statement that there are increasing cases of the elderly, with the highest incidence among people over 80 years of age. Group infections easily occur in long-term care homes, collective living spaces, and hospitals, and are spread in indigenous communities and remote areas.
Additionally, Health Canada has issued new regulations to ban the bulk export of prescription drugs that may be in short supply in the country. Authorities require relevant companies to provide information in a timely manner to assess whether certain drugs have been or may be in short supply. Canadian media believe this is a response to the new Trump administration policy in the United States allowing the importation of prescription drugs from Canada to stabilize drug prices.
Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau recently revealed that the federal government will establish a military-backed operations center at the Department of Public Health to coordinate the distribution of millions of doses of the new corona vaccine that may be faced in the coming months. The agency will be headed by Major General Dany Fortin, chief of staff for Canada’s Joint Military Operations Command and former NATO commander in Iraq. (End up)
