Coronavirus in Canada

In Ontario, 1,366 people are currently being treated with COVID-19 and 190 in the intensive care unit, compared to 1,090 hospitalizations on Monday and 184 in the ICU. Meanwhile, administrators on the Ottawa Public School Board are expected to vote on whether to require students and staff to wear masks, although the county has said masks are no longer mandatory. Quebec reports a jump in hospitals with 145 patients and 35 more deaths. In New Brunswickanother 10 people have died from the virus and ICU patients are on the rise while Island of Prince Edward reports two other deaths from COVID-19.

While provincial governments tell Canadians To assess their own sense of risk, experts say the public has less data to make these risk assessments.

The head of public health Dr. Theresa Tam said today that public access to information about where the virus spreads and who it affects needs to be improved so that people can make informed decisions.

Coronavirus and businesses

New research by the International Monetary Fund shows that a supply chain coming from more countries and inflows can significantly reduce the economic downturn from supply disruptions. Their message? Do not dismantle global supply chains, differentiate them.

Researchers simulated a lockdown like the one in China in early 2020 and said a 25 percent drop in labor supply to a single major intermediate supplier cut 0.8 percent of the economy’s average output. But with a greater difference between those coming from supply, the reduction would be reduced by about half, to about 0.4%. Even in scenarios where there are shocks in many countries, the high diversification of sources reduces the level of GDP decline by about 5 percent.
