Major-General Dany Fortin warns, escalating case numbers in India mean shipments of the vaccine from that country are temporarily on hold

The man in charge of Canada's COVID-19 vaccine rollout is warning there will be more delays in the delivery of the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot before June.

Major-General Dany Fortin says escalating case numbers in India mean shipments of the vaccine from that country are temporarily on hold.

India is reporting a global record daily tally of more than 314-thousand new infections.

Deputy Chief Public Health Minister Dr. Howard Njoo says Canada will be making adjustments at the border for incoming flights ``very soon.''

Njoo says the prime minister and the government are looking at COVID-19 data and a decision to do more at the border is imminent.

Opposition Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says the Liberal government needs to immediately stop admitting flights from COVID-19 ``hot spot'' countries like India and Brazil.
