Covid-19 in Canada: Justin Trudeau criticises anti-vaxxers
Ottawa: Due to incessant rise in COVID-19 mainly by the Omicron variant, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attacked those who still refused to get vaccinated, saying Canadians were “angry” and “frustrated” with the anti-vaxxers.
Addressing a press conference, Trudeau appreciated the efforts of the health workers and lashed out at Canadians who still continue to choose to not get vaccinated. It’s fellow Canadians as well.
He said that the government has also instituted vaccine mandates requiring proof of being jabbed for travelling by air, train and on cruise ships, and some provinces bar those without vaccination certificates from accessing some facilities like gyms, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, as well as sports and entertainment events.
Meanwhile, Covid-19 cases have rapidly accelerated, with Omicron now predominating and widespread across much of the country. The latest 7-day average of 40,696 cases/day is a 78% increase over last week, officials said.
