PM Trudeau and Deputy PM both say they are seeking appointments at a pharmacy to get vaccinated

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland both say they are seeking appointments at a pharmacy to get vaccinated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine for COVID-19.

Both Trudeau, 49, and Freeland, 52, became eligible today when Ontario dropped the age to get that vaccine to 40 and above.

Trudeau says he is still working out the details for getting his shot.

Freeland says she has her children online trying to get her an appointment and is now on a waitlist.

Extension of hotel quarantines in Canada

Canada is extending the use of quarantine hotels for international air travellers another month, and considering whether it needs to do more to stop COVID-19 cases from getting into the country from abroad.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that could include barring incoming flights from specific countries, such as India.
