Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it will be at least several more weeks before plans to re-start the economy are introduced.
“I know that everyone is very interested to know when things are going to get back to normal; when they’ll be able to go back to work, when they’ll be able to leave this isolation at home, when kids will be able to go back to schools. The reality is it is going to be weeks still,” said Trudeau during his national address outside his home in Ottawa Tuesday.
Trudeau said reopening the economy will happen in phases, in cooperation with the provinces, and with restrictions, until a vaccine for COVID-19 is developed.
“We are having ongoing discussions with the provinces at this point. We recognize that different regions of the country are at different places along the evolution of their COVID-19 curve.We are going to make sure we try to stay coordinated as much as possible,” added Trudeau.
