Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed Friday the surging COVID-19 case numbers in Ontario saying Canadian Red Cross mobile vaccination teams are ready to deploy to help with the vaccine rollout. In addition, extra health care providers, health-care equipment, along with more hospital beds for Toronto and Hamilton would be available. He added there will also be support for safe isolation sites and the approval of Red Cross workers to up to 27 long-term care homes.
