Canada will not rule out border closures; medical officer urges strong action against outbreak

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday would not rule out closing borders to combat a coronavirus outbreak, while the chief medical officer said time was running out to prevent a spike in cases. Asked whether Canada might shut its borders to Europe or the United States, Trudeau told CTV: "We are not taking anything off the table." Closing borders could have a major economic impact, given that Canada sends 75% of its goods exports to the United States.
