Canada’s health minister is working on coming up with an exit plan for when things can return to normal, but Patty Hajdu isn’t sure when that will be.
Hajdu told Acadia Broadcasting’s John Ongaro, that’s what her ministry is now focusing on.
“A sort of health safety net, what needs to be in place as we try and live and adapt to this new normal of having a virus on the scene where there is no vaccine. It’s still a major health risk to Canadians and all around the world,” Hajdu said.
Hajdu stressed if people want things to return to normal now is not the time to stop following COVID-19 rules.
Earlier this week the federal government announced $115 million for research into vaccines and treatments, $350 million is going towards national testing and modelling and $662 million will be used for clinical trials.
