The Canada it is in the top ten of the countries with the highest vaccination rates in the world yet the government has decided on some of the most restrictive measures in the world to win the war against Covid 19. Public employees will have to be fully vaccinated to work. Complete cycle also for all over 12 to access trains and planes. “Vaccines are the most effective tool against Covid and countless Canadians, including many public employees – said the premier Justin trudeau, recently re-elected – have already done their part by getting vaccinated. But no one is safe until everyone is safe. We have sufficient doses in Canada for every person to be fully vaccinated across the country, so I encourage all Canadians who have not been vaccinated to book their vaccine today. Together we will complete the battle against Covid ”.

In Canada, the contagion curve is down, after there had been an increase in positive cases since July due to the Delta variant. Since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been 1.66 million cases and over 28 thousand deaths compared to 38 million citizens. “Today we complete two of the major commitments we set ourselves, making vaccines mandatory for travel and for all federal workers. These are two of the most stringent measures in the world ”in the fight against the pandemic, he noted. “By the end of November – he specified – taking Covid tests before traveling will no longer be an option, anyone over 12 years of age who wants to take a train or plane must be fully immunized ”. As for the mandatory immunization for workers, for the federal government it will come into effect by the end of October. The decision was the subject of a government press release.

“The best economic policy – he says Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy – is a strong public health response, including encouraging vaccination for all eligible Canadians. As the country’s largest employer, the government of Canada is leading by example. By requiring people working in the public service to be fully vaccinated, we put the health and safety of civil servants, their families and their neighbors first. This also protects anyone who enters a federal office to get the services they need. And we’re making sure travelers are safe, which will help hard-hit sectors recover. These responsible and practical actions will accelerate our economic recovery and give businesses precious confidence that our strong economy is less vulnerable to Covid 19-related lockdowns.
