Trudeau reinstates COVID-19 updates as pandemic's second wave worsens

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will join Canada's top public health officers today for their daily update on the worsening COVID-19 health crisis.

Trudeau is expected to have an announcement about his government's ongoing efforts to protect Canadians and combat the novel coronavirus.

But he's also expected to start joining chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam and her deputy, Howard Njoo more regularly at their daily briefings.

It's a sign of how serious the second wave of COVID-19 has already become. During the first wave, Trudeau held daily news conferences outside his home, Rideau Cottage.

Those tailed off and eventually stopped as COVID-19 went into a lull over the summer.
