In an interview with ‘The West Block’ host Mercedes Stephenson, Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra, says “we are now examining additional measures for essential workers. We’d have to customize something for them where they’re still able to do their work. But, a regime of frequent testing, et cetera, they’re all on the table.”
