Description
March 15, 2020
Canada's Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Theresa Tam said on Sunday that her provincial counterparts are considering possible actions like postponing or cancelling large mass gatherings and closures of businesses, like bars.

She added self-isolation is not mandatory but a current voluntary process.
