International COVID-19 Megathread

[Poirot]

In Canada there was 1 death in British Columbia. Number of cases by province:

British Columbia 46
Ontario 42
Alberta 19
Quebec 9
New-Brunswick 1

New Brunswick has its first case from someone who had travelled to France. Manitoba has a probable case from someone cominmg back from the Philipines. So new provinces are starting to declare cases. A child in a daycare in Calgary tested positive, it seems to be the first child case in the country.

The World figure skating championship planned for Monday in Montreal were cancelled yesterday but the international cross country competition in Quebec City will take place. The norwegians will not be there and 4 out of 5 of the Italian team.

The Canadian Prime Minister's wife tested positive. She came back from a conference in London.

Ontario is closing piblic schools for two weeks after next week's March break.

BC and Quebec seem to have announced same policies: no gatherings of more than 250 people and 14 day self isolation asked to those coming back from trips outside the country.
