The National for Wednesday, April 22 — Anger over lack of alert about N.S. shooting

Good evening, it's Adrian Arceneaux tonight and a Nova Scotia man's heartbreaking story of horror and personal loss. You can see a body lying on the side of the road as I approached. I could see it was my brother as the pain and

anger

created a new video. shows the killer shortly before he was taken into custody, if people had been more conscientious about staying inside maybe some of this tragedy could have been avoided, so why wasn't there a province wide

alert

? The RCMP's response. I'm Andrew Chang, also a long-termer tonight from Ontario. nursing homes will receive military aid your support will provide relief personnel Canada has now lost more than 2,000 people to cope with its 19 years and was the first to show the world how to contain the virus we have stopped a wave of devastation can New Zealand show now how to reopen safely?

This is the National four days after the deadliest mass

shooting

Canada has ever seen. Emotions, of course, are still raw in Nova Scotia. The pain, yes, but now it has companions. There is growing

anger

over a perceived

lack

of clarity from police and frustration that an emergency

alert

was not issued. issued even as the killing spree was raging no message was received even though a mo had communicated several times throughout the morning with the rcmp why that alert didn't go out was a big question today and the rcmp responded that we were in the process of preparing an alert when the RCMP shot and killed the gunman.

Now, why it took 12 hours to start working is something we will delve into tonight. We will also share new video of the gunman, but we want to start with the story of a survivor and a lost loved one Clinton Ellison was in porta pick on Saturday his night started with a family gathering with his brother Corey and his father and ended with him hiding in the mountain of a rampaging murderer his family forever destroyed Ellison shared his story with CBC's Brett Ruskin, something out of a horror movie, worse than a horror movie. Clinton Ellison, his brother Corey and his father were about to go to sleep when they heard something outside, they went upstairs to go to bed, my brother and I.

There were two stairs we heard music talking we heard a single gunshot we didn't think about it we went out in front of his house and we looked and we see a big glow in the sky from a very big fire that burns at least one of the five buildings the shooter set it on fire my brother said I was going to go up and check it out my dad said no to my dad my brother said I'll be right back I was sitting there with my dad we were waiting and waiting and waiting my brother didn't come back finally funny phone called and said listen to the fires very bad taking pictures call the fire department that phone call was the last time Clinton heard his brother's voice we waited and waited and waited and I walked up the road looking for my brother with a flashlight my father came with me so far but he stopped at the end of his driveway and he turned around when on the way back to his house I walked looking for my brother with flashlights well, I could see a body lying on the side of the road as I got closer I could see it was my brother.

I took a step closer. I could see blood and he wasn't moving. I turned off my flashlight. I turned around and ran for my life in the dark brown and looked. I walked down towards the road I had just run from and saw a small flashlight flashing looking for me according to the police timeline. The shooter was still in the area and had already killed many victims. I ran into the forest. I was hiding. I waited about an hour before I could get my cell phone out Oaks I didn't want it to turn on and off and reveal my position and when I thought it was safe I found my dad to talk on the phone the police called the police Cory killed shot and I told him I told him to turn off the lights and hide and he said yes, I'll do it.

I told him not to fight, so don't call me back. I don't want my phone to turn on and stay on the floor. I almost froze to death. I just stood there for hours, all I could hear were fire explosions and gunshots coming from everywhere around me, yes it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life. They took me out of there with an armored vehicle. A nightmare. through hell it's a nightmare in hell to walk and find my brother dead and be chased by this guy who killed all these people they love me I'll be traumatized for the rest of my life Clinton shared his family's story but says his thoughts are also with all those who lost loved ones in this violent attack Brett Ruskin CBC News porta pick Nova Scotia now like so many others affected by this tragedy Ellison also wants to know why an emergency alert was not issued Kayla Hansel examines the growing Frustration about that part of the story I was watching the news before it really made me sick to my stomach that they didn't put out the emergency alert Clinton Ellison says what happened Saturday night could have been prevented with an emergency alert if the police had had to put the emergency alert room alerted sooner i would have had it on my phone hiding in the woods 9 you would have known what was going on and could have saved a few more lives the RCMP notified the public of the murderous rampage on Twitter after days of anger emerging today the The force said it was in the middle of issuing an alert when the gunman was shot dead, but that was until late Sunday morning and only because emergency management officials reached out to offer to activate the alert was much of the delay.

It was based on communications between the e Amo and the various officers and then a discussion about what the message would be, how it would be constructed and what it would say. For four days, the premier has been insisting the province didn't issue the alert because the RCMP didn't ask for one. It wouldn't get past what's happening on Twitter, we would need the main agency to draft the message so we could post it and no messages were received even though amo had reached out several times during the morning, but some did receive an alert. only American citizens the US consulate sent its own notification.

I would say the email definitely prompted me to go to the news, which I might not have done on a normal Sunday morning. The RCMP says it was handling a dynamic and fluid situation, its members dealing with unimaginable scenes. They say this is a complex investigation and expect it to take months, but some questions may never be answered as some will always wonder what could have been avoided if only that alert had been raised. Kayla House's CBC News Halifax and as to the investigation itself. We still don't know why the shooter did what he did, but Thomas Degla is learning more about how he was able to prolong his rampage dressed as a mounted police officer in the middle of a huge chase.

It's hard to imagine a real police officer pulling into a parking lot and casually stepping out just to change what he's wearing, turns out that man is the target of the chase caught Sunday morning in this surveillance video shared with police about his ongoing killing spree since last night at 10:55 a.m. Mill Brook with police tweeting nine minutes later was seen nearby traveling south in the Brookfield area. They had already warned the gunman was driving a real-looking RCMP car, but that caution appears to come more than two hours after a key witness told police there may be a reason for the delay, this former Mountie says he could have led to more false complaints as they see the public looking like real police cars and then these erroneous complaints appear everywhere.

Note that the simulated RCMP Cruiser has no license plate, but the Killer is wearing parts of a real Mountie uniform complete with a patch visible on his right sleeve. I will tell you that I am very concerned that any individual with the intent to commit criminal acts could have access to the decals on an RCMP vehicle or the uniform of an RCMP officer our CMP uniforms are procured by the government. Some individual items can be purchased in stores with proper RCMP identification, and retailers told us there was no way they would have sold actual Mountie clothing to the gunman who helped him get the gear.

It is now a focus of the investigation that we are working very hard to do exactly that attracting the source in the uniform with his bright yellow safety vest again the gunman takes off he had not yet finished his rampage he would continue for another half hour Thomas Davis CBC News Toronto we've been sharing stories about how these close-knit communities have been coming together after the

shooting

s and today, in another example of that generosity, Colchester City Council says it will cover up to $5,000 in funeral costs for each of the victims these days. Their faces are 22 people confirmed or presumed dead portraits of the impact this tragedy has had on so many families The RCMP has not officially named all of the victims, but through our own reporting CBC News has been able to identify them, including two names that are not We knew last night, Joy and Peter Bond were murdered by the gunman.

Family members posted tributes of the couple online. They had two adult children and lived in Porta Pick, where the fuss started and we will spend the most time. tonight, taking a closer look at the lives lost listening to those who knew them best, that's a little later in the program, two provinces called for reinforcements today to deal with the corona virus pandemic, as Canada overcomes another milestone in the number of cases, there were more. More than 1,700 new cases detected today in Canada, the majority in Quebec and Ontario. The total number of coronavirus cases in Canada has surpassed 40,000 with more than 2,000 deaths.

The most affected, of course, are our nursing homes in Quebec. The prime minister asked for an additional 1,000. Soldiers will be deployed to act as support staff in nursing homes. There are already dozens working in homes across the province. Ellen Morrow shows us why the Premier of Ontario made the same request today. This is how Jenny Fossett visits her parents. They are kovin 19 and live in Orchard. Villa where 32 residents have died, the system does not work and these are the most vulnerable people. We would never allow this to happen to NICU babies in a hospital, but we allowed it to happen here today.

The Premier of Ontario called in the military and will provide support. staffing so staff can focus on caring for residents, at least 447 long-term care residents in Ontario have died and more than 100 homes are facing outbreaks, but the province declined to say which facilities would receive military support. the households that have the greatest need, so I'll leave it there. Mead is very spread out, so there is a

lack

of staff. Nearly 1,000 care workers have the virus and staffing levels could worsen in some homes as most workers are now limited to one facility. They say an Ontario also revealed today that it intends to begin testing all long-term care residents and staff, a move it previously resisted despite pleas from its advocates if we had a series of things.

A long time ago we could have been much more liberal with our testing, but that was the reality: the crisis and his handling led Duane Simon to remove his mother from Orchard Villa. That's good, he is now taking care of her alone at home taking extra precautions. As she is Kovan 19, you know, I will cherish every minute of this isolation with my mother, it is something few will be able to do, but Simon felt it was his only option. Ellen Morrow CBC News Toronto, as Doug Ford requested military assistance for Ontario today he also suggested a target date for reopening the provinces' economy, speaking to an Ottawa radio station this morning, the premier indicated that by the 18th May Victoria Day long weekend restrictions could be eased;

However, this afternoon, Ford downplayed that statement, saying no changes will be made until the provinces' top health officials say it's safe to do so, so it's not like flipping a light switch, if anything, it's more like a dimmer switch that has been turned down and over the next few weeks we will gradually turn the light on once again on the Saskatchewan economy. Premier Scott expresses cautious optimism in a province-wide address tonight as his government moves forward with a five-phase approach to reopening the provincial economy. We expect more details on that plan tomorrow morning in Alberta, now where kovat 19 outbreaks are threatening Canada's beef. supply, more than 500 workers at two processing plants have been infected and now, as Carolyn Dunn tells us, the union that represents them is demanding some accountability, the virus is rampant, hundreds infected, one dead, the largest outbreak related with a single workplace in Canada, theCargill beef processing.

The plant closed yesterday amid growing calls for investigations, so this is a workplace fatality and should be investigated as such. Additionally, we request that the federal or provincial government ask the RCMP to begin a formal criminal investigation into the situation. They say they don't have an open investigation into the death, but Alberta Occupational Health and Safety does. This will include investigations into any potential non-compliance that may have affected the health and safety of workers at the facility. The workers had been raising the alarm for a couple. for weeks about conditions at the Cargill plant saying public health directives were being ignored these deaths and these diseases in this community spread I think a significant part of this would not have happened if the province had intervened after we asked them that they did it on Easter Sunday the union is calling for the temporary closure of another jbs plant 96 workers have tested positive two people in that city have died including one worker at the plant their causes of death are being investigated but the plant will remain open under the surveillance by provincial and federal agencies this constitutes an essential part of the food security of Canadians, the two plants with outbreaks processed more than 70 percent and perhaps consumed heroin CBC News Calgary there is something goodnews today for the students who have been fighting the consequences of kovat 19 a nine billion dollar aid package with this benefit they will get one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars a month from May to August the announcement comes after many young people complained that they had been excluded From existing financial programs, students who are currently in school and will attend in September and recent graduates will be eligible.

Canada's largest prison outbreak continues to spread. A total of 77 positive tests are now connected to the British Columbia mission institution with five inmates currently in hospital. The drive has been dispatched and officials say all prisoners and staff will now be tested for the virus and pit stops at Tim Hortons may look a little different starting today. Starting today, all staff members will be required to wear masks and employees will have their temperatures checked beforehand. In turn, the company says the masks used will not be the same as those used in hospitals. The pandemic has paused all but the most urgent surgeries in Canada's hospitals.

Now surgeons and specialists are preparing to take on the enormous delay, but as Nicole Ireland shows us, all this waiting has taken its toll on patients. Sherry. Beattie loves spending time with her rescue dog Lily, but her irregular heartbeat limits what she can do. She's like a soft washing machine that gets unbalanced when she's on the spin cycle like she just, um. beats faster and strange fatigue shortness of breath after waiting almost a year she was finally scheduled for a heart procedure to fix the problem in late March then it was abruptly canceled due to Cova 19 her husband Jim suffered a heart attack in February and was underwent bypass surgery in March, just under the wire, the most urgent procedures related to cancer, heart and stroke continued, but an estimated 15 to 20,000 heart procedures have been postponed, according to the society Canadian cardiovascular, considering everything else that stopped, from cataract surgeries to hip surgeries. and knee replacements, the backlog of surgeries could add up to a hundred thousand patients nationwide, surgeons have been very concerned and are seeing these waiting lists grow and anxious patients calling and worrying, and so on. a ray of hope, but it's fragile The University Health Network in Toronto is starting to perform some more cancer surgeries and organ transplants this week if it can continue to ramp up the chief surgeon hopes to catch up on urgent surgeries by the fall, but to make hospitals need government funding to operate operating rooms during nights and weekends, a reliable supply of personal protective equipment and kovat 19 test kits for each patient before surgery is performed and if COBIT cases 19 increase again, surgeries will decrease again, so the best way to restore surgical procedures for people like sherry Beatty continue to follow public health guidelines like staying home Nicole Ireland CBC News Toronto now surgeries are not the only casualties pandemic medical money and labor spent on treatments and vaccines come at the cost of existing research aimed at potentially life-changing impacts United Nations military Leonys explains that they went from running to stopping since her son Michael was Diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder Terry and Georgia perova lacus have not stopped searching for a cure, they were getting closer, we had a lot of researchers around the world doing different things, all our research basically stopped for the last year, the couple raised more than a million dollars to fund a personalized gene therapy clinical trial that promises to help Michael walk, but the pandemic has put it on hold. research around the world mammoths here Brad router's is with Toronto University Health Network says thousands of clinical trials are on hold work that can change people's lives like a current patient being treated for pancreatic cancer he was part of a medical research study here and that information revealed a potential new therapy that could be very effective for that patient and immunotherapy, but we only have access to that drug through a clinical trial, so you won't get it.

Router says closed labs have put thousands of jobs at risk and why uhhn is By asking the federal government for help, we are at a point where we will see significant job losses next week if something can't be done in Montreal. Experts at McGill University say Canada's medical research industry depends on that brain. I rely on many of them inter

national

students who help us develop the discoveries and solutions that are made public. As for Michael, the halt in research means a potential cure could be delayed by up to a year, and that could mean the difference between him and his life. or not, it means that he is going to degrade, unfortunately, little by little he will become more and more paralyzed.

They're trying to find ways to keep the research on Michael's gene therapy going, trying not to think about what will happen if they can't. Yeah, I'm just looking. one day at a time I'm not thinking about the research stopping and him potentially not being cured. They've come too far, they say let his hope stagnate. Yoanna Burma leotis CBC News Toronto now as if undercover 19 hasn't caused enough. Pain, this next story may surprise you, it's about kids stuck at home for their own protection and spending more time online, but that's where a completely different kind of danger lurks.

Meghan Fitzpatrick takes a closer look as schools and playgrounds closed their sports teams and music lessons were cancelled. Canada's children are home all day every day and spend much of their time online going to school to play and check social media and online sexual predators are eager to take advantage of one of the things we have noted in the The communication that we have been seeing in some of the deepest, darkest parts of the Internet is essentially joy and joy that they will have much more access to children. The RCMP is closely monitoring the activity with maps like this one, each dot represents. an IP address that has shared child exploitation content in the past 30 days, approximately 850 households from coast to coast, the Canadian Center for Child Protection says reports to its sexual exploitation tip line increased 40 per cent in just the last two weeks that the center monitors. chat rooms used by criminals a recent post shows a predator telling others about a website used by children that has literally been bursting at the seams for the past two weeks with children.

We know that often young people who have had a situation like this will not happen. They report that they don't want to reveal what happened, they are trying to deal with the whole situation on their own, so we are definitely only seeing the tip of the iceberg in these situations. Sauer says it's key for parents to talk to their children about their online experiences. activity sets rules for their time online uses strict privacy settings and encourages children to speak up if a stranger tries to chat with them the RCMP says they are determined to find these online predators and the public can help report any suspicious behavior to cybertip CA Meghan Fitzpatrick CBC News Toronto the number of confirmed cases worldwide exceeds two and a half million, but today New Zealand cautiously celebrates that we have stopped a wave of devastation.

Up next, how New Zealand's handling of the Kovach crisis saved countless lives and how nature is taking over wildlife is making the best of the pandemic by running free while humans stay home and a special memory of agent Heidi Stevenson. She just had this very gentle, compassionate understanding of the unlikely but emotional bond that the slain officer and Rehtaeh Parsons' mother share. We're back to you New Zealand hopes to help Singapore deal with the coronavirus, sending a planeload of essential supplies today in total to more than two and a half million people around the world. It has been confirmed to me that he has kovat 19 and almost one hundred and eighty-three thousand lives have been lost, but in New Zealand's population is approximately five million, about fourteen hundred have contracted the virus, only fourteen have died so early and it is attributed to strict measures to reduce the impact of the virus.

Chris Brown explains how they continue to pay that amount that Wallace won't have. having to wait a long time to get back in the water, his passion and livelihood, surfing, was banned more than a month ago, criminalized, as he calls it, as part of a radical blockade in New Zealand's battle against Koated 19, his surf school was closed and the northern beaches. The island was left empty, and although I didn't agree with the ban, perhaps the other strict measures were worth it. A great support for the great Prime Minister. She has done an incredible job enabling us to keep a New Zealand virus safe and acting early and quickly.

The fighting measures are among the most strident in the Western world. Most businesses were ordered shot and people were only allowed to go to supermarkets and pharmacies and get some outdoor exercise, but this week Prime Minister Jacinda R. Dern came very close to declaring victory over kovat 19 we have done what very few countries have been able to do: we have stopped a wave of devastation, infectious disease expert Suzy as she says New Zealand has the advantage of being an island that uses an extreme lockdown to eliminate the coronavirus instead of just stop it. It required a lot of political will, it is only a really viable strategy if it is done early enough.

She says the key will be to track new infections, track down anyone who comes into contact with a sick person, and monitor any country borders we may end up having. countries around the world that there are these little islands that you know you could potentially travel between Singapore serves as a warning, it also seemed to be on the verge of eradicating kovat, but then it was hit by a terrible second wave, it could be a long way off before In fact , we get inter

visitors coming here, but starting next Monday at midnight, New Zealand will start sending kids back to school, allowing businesses to reopen, and allowing surfers to return to the ocean.

Chris Brown CBC News Vancouver is moving forward nationally. We accept your questions. about Kovac 19 plus in our current coronavirus how-to guides, do you really need to disinfect your purchases when you get home, but first, when rehtaeh Parsons died in 2013 after being harassed and bullied, her mother had little faith in the police, Did you think I was unaware of your daughter's situation? pleas for help until Agent Heidi Stevenson brought some kindness to the Parsons. The following warm memories of an unlikely bond and her message to the Stevenson family. What was once a quiet country street in Porta Peak is still a crime scene today, but this is a community. holding on and holding together their members finding ways to comfort each other I grew up here and I only look five minutes down the road like the local musicianBill Elliott playing his guitar next to a makeshift memorial and a road with so many deep connections Cory Ellison and Dragan Jamie there, I knew them, it's a real surprise, well I'm telling you don't expect anything to happen, not here, not anywhere first, but these people are sure, they will join together.

My corner is still a place for people to gather. and for some, a place to return to, that's what Cory Allison's brother did today. Clinton told it at the beginning of the show, but he had a lot more to say about his younger brother. He was a really good guy. My brother was really good. He would have done it. I was the first to jump, run, go help and be jealous for him, I was going to help cost him his life, yes, because my brother, his life, was a really good guy, he helped, he helped the people he could and I was disabled here to see my disability. and in general he was a good guy, he liked fishing outdoors and things like that.

I knew some of the other victims and my heart goes out to their families. This is a complete atrocity and children are not benefiting from the worst that happens in this area. This is usually the case. a peaceful, peaceful and quiet community. I'm still so shocked that I could, I could, I can barely function. I can't sleep. I'm shaking like a leaf. I'm just terrified. I am terrified by this whole ordeal. scaring me for life and it's horrible something out of a horror movie worse than a horror movie this is real life and it took our friends and family this is a total nightmare Cory Alison was one of the 22 victims that her entire life was interrupted and We want to continue sharing their stories with you, so, like last night, let's hear from the people who knew them best.

You have mixed emotions. One minute you know you're fine and you start thinking about it and it makes you feel sad knowing this. young his whole life knowing his whole family lived here his whole life he and his sister always saw her fighting when they were babies watching the plane in the air and watched him grow up to have families owned by Joey he was an amazing guy if you needed a hand and You call Joey if he could come over there he would be there to help you, poor Joe was joking with his wife before he went out to get the oven, everything he sold.

I gotta go out and get the oil and come back before that crazy guy comes down here and starts shooting people and lo and behold he was the one that came around the corner and the gentleman shot the RCMP officer and took Joey's vehicle and shot Joey, they lost their father. He never had another dad, he has three girls of 14, six and one, no matter who comes to take his place, they will never have another guy who was their dad and not to say anything, there were such loving, outgoing and happy people. They would take off their shirts.

Would you know anyone? It's been real. We've been around them all our lives. And their children will grow with our children. You know, the people who were murdered grew up with our children. You're the same age, so you know it's very difficult. Think about how such lovely people could be killed, you know, and attacked, for no reason, for no reason, it's a nice thing to do. Show community support. Greg was the kindest person you would ever meet. He would take off his shirt immediately. turns your back on no one, there is no such thing as looking back, it's just that we have to move on and just support those affected, those stories will stay with many Canadians and they add that, just like the story of a teenager from Nova Scotian Rehtaeh Parsons was bullied and harassed. died after attempting suicide in 2013, there wasn't much that could comfort rehtaeh's family at the time, but one woman's kindness stayed with her mother Lea Parsons in Police officer Heidi Stevenson was shot to death on the end of week.

I spoke to Lea Parsons about the connection in the early hours today as details of the dead emerged, one name, one face in particular, prompted Lea Parsons to stop Officer Heidi Stevenson. I'm thinking about the lady who showed up at my house that night, but she wasn't sure, so I had to sit down. Think about it and think about it. I was hoping it wasn't her for the sake of it, because she's just a sweet, sweet soul. It's hard to imagine. Parsons is able to remember a lot of kindness about April 4, 2013, that terrible night when her daughter tried to commit suicide when she called 911.

Stephenson, who came to the house, just had this compassionate face, very soft and understanding, and not even It's not like he even had to say anything, it was just that he was saving space for me. Three days later, Rehtaeh was taken off life support. Agent Stevenson was there. every night he heard stories of how a 15 year old girl had been raped and photos widely distributed a torment that tormented Stevenson he listened offered small gestures that meant more small things like someone's face someone being kind someone even passing you here here is food these These are the things that really matter.

Parsons wrote about these memories in a Facebook post with some hard truths: Stevenson's kindness came at a time when he had no faith in the police, he helped like he did when Stevenson walked alongside Parsons in a rehtaeh memorial walk and so on. In recent days, Parsons had a moment of connection with her daughter in the same way we all talk to those we love who are no longer here. Remember that night. Remember her love and her compassion. She was there with us those days. Please when. say hello when you see her, please extend that love and compassion to your connections are important now, which is why Lea Parsons has a few more words for Agent Stevenson's children if they are one day looking for stories about their mom, their mom, and everything she is. she doesn't leave you that she will remain inside you and every fiber of you and everything you do in your life to remember that she is never fired Tina moans be like that and she won't always feel so horrible and that she knows it It must be very Hard to believe right now, but Lea Parsons, like many Canadians, understands all too well that the pain is taking over.

He's still ahead in the National, a carefully crafted tribute to 22. It was just a way to say thank you and we're there to help. the story behind a Roadside Memory and, as we always do, we'll answer your nineteen kovat questions, including this one that I'm sure has crossed your mind before if I'm standing behind someone in line at a grocery store and it blows wind. Could I get sick even if I'm six feet away after this, welcome back? It's time to answer more code 19 questions from him and tonight it will be a quick style joining me, dr. allison mcgee r infectious disease specialist at mount sinai hospital here in toronto, so dr.

McGee R, this is the first question that comes your way, if I'm standing behind someone in line at a grocery store and the wind is blowing, could I get sick even if I'm standing six feet behind, almost certainly not? You know, it's very dangerous in medicine. Say never, but the chance of particles from someone breathing being carried by the wind and landing on your face is very small, which is why the six foot rule exists and it really doesn't. , you don't have to worry, it's okay, maybe there is a more difficult question here. Immunity will eventually be as effective as a vaccine, well yes, that depends, okay, it is theoretically possible, but this is a disease against which we all or almost all get antibodies and once you have them you are protected for life, so everyone in the world gets infected once. and then no one comes back into the game, um, that could be true, we don't know, we'd just be dumb to count on it, that's why we're working on vaccines, right?

Can a cloth mask be sterilized by ironing it so you certainly can? It kills some of the virus by heating it, but sterilization requires a certain amount of time, usually at least ten minutes above a certain temperature, like 65 or 70 degrees Celsius, which you don't normally get from ironing, but I find that if you're ironing it, it you washed And when you wash it, just the soap and water in the washing machine will remove the Kovat Family 19, so you don't have to worry about it. That's a question we've gotten many times, so I'm glad you answered it. .

McGee thank you so much for your time, we'll leave it at that, take care now, as we mentioned, we'll be asking your questions about kovat 19 every night, so send them in. He can message us directly on Instagram at CBC the National or you. you can email us at Kovac at CBC CA just make sure to put the national in the subject line and then the National Nature comes out of hibernation as humans are stuck indoors, considered the endemic playground of the Land for animals, what that means for wildlife below, but First, as the pandemic changes almost every aspect of our lives, we're looking at everyday tasks and today it's about the food you bring home.

Do we really need to disinfect our food well? If you do nothing else, definitely do this, you have no idea how many things you just touched and you don't want those germs to get on your face now yes, you can clean things because you don't know who else has touched us and interestingly, coronavirus Similar ones actually last longer in the refrigerator, but food infection is not even remotely one of the main ways this virus has spread in this country and if you take something like paper or cardboard, early studies show that the virus survives. less than a day on a surface like this, so you will have I needed someone to have touched this package that had kovat 19 not long before you went and touched it.

As for fruits and vegetables, you don't know who else might have touched it, so the safest thing to do is to take it home and wash it and soak it in water, especially if you are going to consume the skin and, in particular, if you are not going to cook it. , but remember that the highest chance of infection is not while you are at home shopping, but while you are. I'm in the supermarket with all those people. I'm Jamie, Owen the Cat, tomorrow on CBC's daily news podcast.
