Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says misinformation about COVID-19 is hurting the ability of some communities to keep their people safe.
He says Canada plans to stay focused on co-ordinating with health authorities in all provinces and territories to ensure our response is active and up to date, rather than make any ``knee-jerk'' reactions.
Australia has banned travellers from South Korea who aren't Australian citizens or permanent residents, following similar bans for China and Iran, but Trudeau says Canada has no plans to follow suit.
