Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says federal departments and some Canadian provinces are working to send health−care workers and equipment to help Ontario as it battles record−breaking COVID−19 numbers.

Trudeau said in a video update today that health care workers employed by government departments such as national defence and immigration will be redeployed to Ontario, and the Greater Toronto area in particular.
