Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says she and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have agreed to stay in constant contact in regards to the fate of our shared border and any travel restrictions.

Freeland says she stressed Canada's very strong public health care system, and measures being taken to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus.
