Are we about to see the same lockdowns enduring in Spring in response to COVID’s second-wave?
The number of Covid cases is on the rise in Canada as the provinces struggle with hot spots. Quebec has gone into Red Alert and ordered residents in three hotspots not to socialize outside their household.
Medical experts are advising against severe lockdown measures, as the virus only stops spreading for as long as the lockdown is in affect - and the consequences on business are far longer lasting and detrimental. Will this second wave be worse than the first?
