Coronavirus: Canadian companies now manufacturing ventilators, surgical masks
''Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that companies across the country are now producing medical supplies, including hundreds of ventilators, as part of Canada’s battle to increase desperately needed equipment in the fight against COVID-19.

Thornhill Medical, based in the Greater Toronto Area, is making 500 ventilators that will arrive at hospitals and health-care facilities in early April, the prime minister said.

“We are seeing the best of what it means to be Canadian,” Trudeau told reporters.''

''The federal government has signed five contracts with companies since March 20 to produce equipment like masks and rapid tests for the new coronavirus.''

''The latest:

• Spain tops 100,000 cases; Prince Charles sends video message as U.K. case numbers rise.
• More restrictions coming on travel between Ottawa and Gatineau, Que.
• Canada's airline, tourism sectors facing 'catastrophic' decline due to COVID-19 pandemic.

• A 'really weird new normal': Parents, students grapple with learning at home amid pandemic.
• Long-term care homes are worrisome COVID-19 hot spots.

A new month means a fresh set of bills for Canadian families and businesses struggling with the health and financial fallout from the global coronavirus pandemic.

With case numbers rising, several provinces have made moves recently to extend orders aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by a novel coronavirus that emerged in China and has since spread around the world. B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix on Tuesday told people in his province there is "zero chance — none" that orders meant to tackle COVID-19 would be varied by the end of this month.

"I think we're in this for a long time," he said.''
