Public Health Agency of Canada officials will hold a briefing on Friday to discuss the latest modelling data for COVID-19 in the country.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, alongside Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, announced that all federal workers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 29 or face unpaid administrative leave. Freeland added the government is directing crown corporations to instate a similar mandate.

The Canadian government announced earlier that anyone over the age of 12 wanting to travel by air, rail or sea in the country must also be fully vaccinated by the end of the month.

The policy is expected to allow only for very narrow medical exemptions.
