>> Adrienne: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ADRIENNE ARSENAULT.
TONIGHT, A SOMBRE TRIBUTE TO
CANADA'S FALLEN.
(*)
>> SHE WAS A BRIGHT, BRIGHT
LIGHT AND SHE'S GOING TO BE
TERRIBLY, TERRIBLY MISSED.
>> Adrienne: PUBLIC MOURNING
AT A DISTANCE, REMEMBERING THE
SIX MEMBERS KILLED IN A
HELICOPTER CRASH.
>> Andrew: I'M ANDREW CHANG.
ALSO TONIGHT, CANADA MAY BE
FLATTENING THE CURVE BUT NOT
EVERYWHERE.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY
SCARED.
>> Andrew: WHY THE VIRUS IS SO
HARD TO CONTROL IN NORTHERN
SASKATCHEWAN AND PUSHING
HOSPITALS TO THE LIMIT IN PARTS
OF MONTRÉAL.
>>> B.C. ALLOWS SMALL GATHERINGS
IN TIME FOR THE MAY-LONG
WEEKEND.
>> TODAY WE TAKE OUR FIRST
STEPS.
>> Andrew: BACKYARD BARBECUES
AND FAMILY GATHERINGS AND EVEN
HUGS WILL BE ALLOWED.
>> I HEARD A DUCK --
QUACK, QUACK, QUACK.
>> Adrienne: A BIRTHDAY STORY
FOR BABY ARCHIE, BUT HOW ARE HIS
FAMOUS PARENTS NAVIGATING A
NON-ROYAL LIFE?
>>> THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> AT C.F.B. TRENTON TODAY IN
EASTERN ONTARIO, A SOLEMN
CEREMONY TO HONOUR SIX CANADIAN
ARMED FORCES MEMBERS KILLED IN
LAST WEEK'S HELICOPTER CRASH OFF
THE COAST OF GREECE.
>> Andrew: THERE HAVE BEEN
MANY REPATRIATION CEREMONIES
BEFORE, BUT NOT ONE LIKE THIS.
THE PANDEMIC THAT'S CHANGED SO
MUCH IN OUR LIVES HAS CHANGED
THE WAY THAT WE DEAL WITH DEATH
TOO.
BUT THE GRIEF AND DIGNITY WITH
WHICH THESE SIX WERE HONOURED
TODAY, THAT MUCH IS FAMILIAR.
KAYLA HOUNSELL SHOWS US THE
TRIBUTES.
(*)
[BAGPIPES PLAYING]
>> Reporter: IT WAS A
REPATRIATION CEREMONY UNLIKE ANY
THAT CANADA HAS SEEN BEFORE.
DIGNITARIES WEARING MASKS TO
PROTECT ONE ANOTHER FROM
COVID-19.
AND IN THE SHADOW OF THE
AIRCRAFT, SIX HEARSES, THOUGH
THERE IS ONLY ONE BODY --
SUB-LIEUTENANT ABBIGAIL
COWBROUGH.
HER BROTHER IS ALSO IN THE
MILITARY.
>> I LOST A SISTER BY BLOOD, BUT
I ALSO LOST A SISTER IN THE
FORCES.
>> Reporter: AS HE MADE THE
TRIP TO C.F.B. TRENTON, HE
RECALLED HIS LAST
CONVERSATION WITH HIS SISTER.
>> I WOULD ALWAYS SAY I LOVE YOU
AT THE END.
AND SO IT KIND OF PROVES MORE
THAT EVERY PERSON THAT YOU TALK
TO THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU
THAT YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS END A PHONE CALL WITH "I
LOVE YOU" OR A KISS AND A HUG
WHEN YOU SEE THEM.
>> Reporter: COWBROUGH'S
GRANDMOTHER, UNABLE TO MAKE THE
TRIP, WATCHED THE CEREMONY FROM
HOME.
>> WE'RE VERY PROUD AND HAPPY
THAT WE HAVE ABBY HOME.
SHE'S A BRIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHT.
LOVED BY SO MANY PEOPLE.
>> Reporter: THE OTHER FIVE
ARE STILL MISSING AND PRESUMED
DECEASED AFTER THE HELICOPTER
CRASH ONE WEEK AGO.
THEIR SERVICE HATS CARRIED BY
COLLEAGUES FROM HMCS
FREDERICTON.
THEIR FAMILIES GIVEN TIME TO PAY
THEIR RESPECTS.
>> THERE ISN'T A DAY GOES BY
THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT THEM.
AND TO CONTINUE TO MOURN WITH
THEM.
>> Reporter: SO MANY MOURN
WITH THEM.
SUB-LIEUTENANT MATTHEW PYKE,
HONOURED BY HIS FRIEND'S MOTHER
TODAY.
>> MY SON IS ON THE FREDERICTON,
AND I'M HERE IN RESPECT FOR HIM
AND FOR ALL OF HIS SHIPMATES
BECAUSE MATTHEW WAS HIS FRIEND.
HE WAS HIS ROOMMATE.
THEY TRAINED TOGETHER.
THIS IS THEIR FIRST DEPLOYMENT.
WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEM.
THEY'RE ALL HEROES.
>> Reporter: THE CEREMONY WAS
FOLLOWED BY A PROCESSION ALONG
THE HIGHWAY OF HEROES.
ONE HEARSE FOR EACH LIFE LOST.
FOR ABBIGAIL COWBROUGH'S
GRANDMOTHER, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO
SAY THEIR NAMES.
>> CAPTAIN BRENDEN IAN
MacDONALD, AND CAPTAIN KEVIN
HAGEN AND CAPTAIN MAXIME
MIRON-MORIN, AND SUB-LIEUTENANT
MATTHEW PYKE AND MASTER CORPORAL
MATTHEW COUSINS, AND
SUB-LIEUTENANT ABBIGAIL
COWBROUGH, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE.
REST IN PEACE.
>> Reporter: KAYLA HOUNSELL,
CBC NEWS, HALIFAX.
>> Andrew: NOW IN THE PAST,
PEOPLE CROWDED OVERPASSES AND
STREETS TO STAND WITH MOTORCADES
AS THEY TRAVEL TO TORONTO, BUT
TODAY, LIKE AT THE CEREMONY
ITSELF, A VERY DIFFERENT LOOK.
FEWER PEOPLE, FURTHER APART.
THE DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL
DEFENCE HAD ASKED PEOPLE NOT TO
GATHER BECAUSE OF COVID-19 AND
TO PRACTISE PHYSICAL DISTANCING
IF THEY DID.
>> Adrienne: THE NEED FOR THAT
CONTINUED DISCIPLINE IS
UNDERSCORED BY TODAY'S REPORTED
CASES.
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CANADIAN
INFECTIONS IS NOW MORE THAN
63,000 WITH MORE THAN 4,300
DEATHS.
ONCE AGAIN TODAY QUÉBEC WAS THE
WORST HIT PROVINCE ON BOTH
COUNTS.
IN MONTRÉAL ALONE THERE WERE 451 
NEW CASES.
THAT'S MORE THAN IN ALL OF
ONTARIO.
THAT CONSTANT LOOK AT CASES HAS
SOME MONTRÉAL HOSPITALS
OPERATING NEAR CAPACITY.
ALISON NORTHCOTT EXPLAINS WHY
THEY'RE SO WORRIED ABOUT A FLOOD
OF CASES FROM A REOPENED
ECONOMY.
>> Reporter: PREPARATIONS ARE
UNDERWAY TO TURN THIS HOCKEY
ARENA INTO A TREATMENT CENTRE
FOR UP TO 50 COVID-19 PATIENTS
AND EASE THE BURDEN ON A NEARBY
HOSPITAL.
BUT WITH THE CRITICAL SHORTAGE
OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS, THERE
ARE ALREADY CONCERNS ABOUT
STAFFING.
>> WHAT WE'RE SCARED OF IS THAT
WE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH EMPLOYEES
TO FULFILL THEIR DEMANDS.
>> Reporter: IT'S ONE OF THE
ISSUES THAT THE HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM IS FACING AS THE NUMBER
OF CONFIRMED CASES IN AND AROUND
MONTRÉAL CLIMBS, THE HOSPITAL
RESOURCES ARE GETTING STRETCHED.
>> OUR WIGGLE ROOM MARGIN, SO TO
SPEAK, IN ALL HOSPITALS IN
MONTRÉAL HAVE DECREASED OVER THE
PAST COUPLE WEEKS.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS THAT
S THERE ARE A FEW REASONS FOR
THAT,
INCLUDING PEOPLE RETURNING FROM
NON-COVID ISSUES THAT HAD STAYED
AWAY EARLIER BECAUSE OF FEAR.
HE WORRIES WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF
THE BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS IN
MONTRÉAL REOPEN LATER THIS MONTH
AS PLANNED.
>> WE HAVE SOME ROOM, BUT NOT
MUCH ROOM TO ABSORB A POTENTIAL
SURGE OF PATIENTS.
>> Reporter: THE PROVINCE SAYS
THAT IT'S WORKING TO FREE UP
SPACE.
AND THAT INCLUDES
TRANSFERRING SOME PATIENTS TO
OTHER REGIONS.
>> THERE ARE SOME PATIENTS IN
THE HOSPITALS RIGHT NOW,
COVID-19 PATIENTS, WHO DON'T
REQUIRE NECESSARILY TO BE IN THE
HOSPITAL.
AND OTHER PATIENTS ALSO THAT
HAVE OTHER PHYSICAL PROBLEMS
THAT COULD GO OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL.
>> THEY'RE USING OUR BEDS AS A
HOTEL.
>> Reporter: THIS E.R. DOCTOR
SAYS THAT IN SOME CASES
LONG-TERM CARE RESIDENTS ARE NOT
BEING SENT BACK HOME ONCE THEY
RECOVER
FROM COVID-19 AND THAT HAS A
RIPPLE EFFECT.
>> IT'S BEEN BACKTRACKING AND
BUILDING UP.
NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THREE
WEEKS OF
BUILDING UP, AND THE HOSPITALS
ARE FULL.
WE NEED TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE
FOR THOSE PATIENTS.
>> Reporter: HE SAYS THAT THE
PROVINCE NEEDS TO ACT QUICKLY TO
FIX THE BACKLOG TO ENSURE THAT
THE HOSPITALS HAVE ROOM FOR AN
INFLUX OF PATIENTS.
ALISON NORTHCOTT, CBC NEWS,
MONTRÉAL.
>> Andrew: SASKATCHEWAN SAW 25
NEW CASES OF COVID-19 TODAY.
THAT'S A SMALL NUMBER COMPARED
TO QUÉBEC.
BUT THESE LATEST CASES CONFIRM A
WORRYING TREND.
JUST LOOK AT WHERE THE
PROVINCE'S 194 ACTIVE CASES ARE.
ONLY 20 ARE IN THE SOUTH AROUND
REGINA AND SASKATOON.
THE REST, 174 CASES, ARE IN THE
NORTH, PART OF AN OUTBREAK
AROUND THE REMOTE INDIGENOUS
COMMUNITIES OF LA LOCHE AND
CLEAR WATER RIVER DENE NATION.
THAT HAS PUBLIC OFFICIALS
CONCERNED THAT AN ALREADY
VULNERABLE POPULATION IS ALREADY
AT GREATER RISK.
BONNIE ALLEN NOW ON THE PUSH TO
CONTAIN AND STOP THE VIRUS.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOT EASY TO
GET IN OR OUT OF LA LOCHE RIGHT
NOW.
THERE ARE CHECKPOINTS ON THE
HIGHWAY.
PLUS A CURFEW.
AND SECURITY PATROLS TO CONVINCE
PEOPLE TO STAY INSIDE THEIR
HOMES.
>> THINGS WEREN'T PUT INTO PLACE
RIGHT AWAY WHEN WE NEEDED IT.
>> Reporter: AMANDA BLACK
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19.
SO DID HER 6-YEAR-OLD SON AND
HER PARENTS.
SHE'S HAPPY RESTRICTIONS HAVE
BEEN PUT IN PLACE, BUT WORRIES
THAT IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO CONTROL
THE SPREAD.
>> IT SCARES PEOPLE.
BUT IT DOESN'T SCARE THEM ENOUGH
TO STAY HOME.
EVEN BEFORE THE COVID HAPPENED,
WE WERE CONSIDERED THE TOWN THAT
NEVER SLEEPS.
>> Reporter: THIS OUTBREAK
TRACES BACK TO AN OIL SANDS CAMP
IN NORTHERN ALBERTA.
IT MOVED INTO A LONG-TERM CARE
HOME IN LA LOCHE, KILLING TWO
ELDERS.
THEN INFILTRATED OTHER
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES.
LEONARD MONGRAND REPRESENTS THE
MÉTIS PEOPLE IN THE AREA.
>> WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE A STRONG
CHANGE.
I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE ABOUT
80% OF THE COMMUNITY BUYING INTO
THE PROGRAMME, HOWEVER, THAT
REMAINING 20% OUT THERE, THAT'S
THE DIFFICULT PART.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ADDICTED TO
SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND THAT AND
THEY'RE DEALING WITH THEIR OWN
SOCIAL ISSUES.
>> Reporter: THE MAYOR OF LA
LOCHE SAYS THAT MOBILE UNITS AND
R.V. CAMPERS WILL SHELTER
HOMELESS PEOPLE, AND SERVE AS
ISOLATION UNITS FOR PEOPLE WHO
LIVE IN OVERCROWDED HOMES.
>> WE WANT TO CONTAIN IT, SO WE
GO TO A HOUSEHOLD THAT HAS MORE
THAN EIGHT PEOPLE, LET'S JUST
SAY, AND THEN A PERSON THAT
COULD POTENTIALLY INFECT THOSE
OTHER ONES.
>> Reporter: ASHTON SAYS THAT
PEOPLE ARE SCARED BUT RESILIENT.
>> THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF
POSITIVITY AND A LOT OF FACEBOOK
LIVE PRAYERS THAT ARE SHARED TO
GET PEOPLE MORE IN A POSITIVE
VIBE.
>> Reporter: THAT INCLUDES
CONVINCING PEOPLE TO GET TESTED.
THE PLAN IS AGGRESSIVE, BOTH
DRIVE-THRU TESTING AND GOING
DOOR-TO-DOOR.
THE PREMIER SAID THEY WILL TEST
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY IF THAT'S
WHAT PEOPLE WANT.
BONNIE ALLEN, CBC NEWS, REGINA.
>> Adrienne: UNLIKE NORTHERN
SASKATCHEWAN, B.C. HAS SEEN A
DECLINING NUMBER OF CASES AND
TODAY THE PREMIER UNVEILED PLANS
FOR REOPENING ITS ECONOMY.
THE EASING OF RESTRICTIONS WILL
BE GRADUAL, BUT AS RENÉE
FILIPPONE EXPLAINS, B.C. IS
GOING FURTHER THAN MANY OTHER
PROVINCES.
>> Reporter: IT'S A GLIMPSE AT
THEIR FUTURE.
MANY BRITISH COLUMBIANS HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR IT.
>> I AM SAYING THAT WE HAVE A
PLAN TO MOVE TO WHAT WILL BE THE
NEW NORMAL, AND WE'RE GOING TO
BE TAKING GUIDANCE ALONG THE WAY
FROM BRITISH COLUMBIANS.
>> Reporter: EXPANDING SOCIAL
CIRCLES IS TOP OF THE AGENDA.
SMALL DINNER PARTIES OR
BARBECUES WITH FEWER THAN SIX
PEOPLE BY VICTORIA DAY LONG
WEEKEND.
EVEN HUGS WILL BE OKAY, AS LONG
AS NO ONE IS SHOWING SYMPTOMS.
>> WE'RE NOT PRESCRIBING TO
BRITISH COLUMBIANS WHO THEY
INTERACT WITH AND HOW THEY
INTERACT WITH THEM, BUT PEOPLE
HAVE TO MAKE THOSE CHOICES.
>> Reporter: B.C. HAS
SUCCESSFULLY FLATTENED ITS CURVE
WITH THE NUMBER OF NEW CASES
TRENDING DOWNWARD.
VIRTUALLY ALL SECTORS OF THE
ECONOMY WILL START TO REOPEN.
AS LONG AS THERE'S AN APPROVED
PLAN TO DO IT SAFELY WITH
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND PERSONAL
HYGIENE MEASURES.
THE COMING WEEKS WILL SEE A
RETURN OF ELECTIVE SURGERIES AND
OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES LIKE
DENTISTRY, PHYSIO, AND MASSAGE
THERAPY.
PERSONAL SERVICES LIKE HAIR
SALONS WILL BE ABLE TO REOPEN.
RESTAURANTS COULD
ALSO BE SERVING SOON, THOUGH NO
DATE HAS BEEN SET.
THIS RESTAURANT OWNER SAYS THAT
HE WANTS TO MOVE CAREFULLY.
>> I DON'T WANT TO OPEN AND HAVE
THIS ON MY SHIFT, ETC., AND TO
POSSIBLY SHUT DOWN IN TWO OR
THREE WEEKS IF WE HAVE ANOTHER
WAVE OF COVID.
>> Reporter: FOR NOW THERE'S
LITTLE DETAIL ON WHAT'S NEXT FOR
SCHOOLS, ONLY THAT THERE WON'T
BE A FULL RETURN UNTIL
SEPTEMBER.
IF INFECTIONS REMAIN LOW,
HOTELS, RESORTS AND SOME
OVERNIGHT CAMPING WOULD OPEN IN
JUNE.
THE FILM INDUSTRY COULD START
BACK UP.
EVEN MOVIE THEATRES WOULD BE AN
OPTION THIS SUMMER WITH FEWER
THAN 50 PEOPLE.
AND UNTIL THERE'S A VACCINE OR A 
SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT, THERE WILL
BE NO LARGE GATHERINGS.
THAT MEANS NO CONCERTS AND NO
SITTING IN THE STANDS TO CHEER
ON YOUR FAVOURITE SPORTS TEAM.
RENÉE FILIPPONE, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: THE CITY OF
TORONTO IS ALSO MOVING TOWARDS
LOOSENING SOME RESTRICTIONS.
>> WE HAVE STARTED TO SHIFT FROM
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO STAY HOME
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR
DISTANCE.
>> Adrienne: MAYOR JOHN TORY
ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO CREATE MORE
SPACE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND
CYCLISTS ON CITY STREETS BY
SHUTTING DOWN SOME 50 KILOMETRES
OF ROADS TO ALL BUT LOCAL
TRAFFIC.
OFFICIALS URGE THOSE ENJOYING
THE OUTDOORS TO STILL KEEP THEIR
DISTANCE.
>>> PROVINCIALLY ONTARIO SAYS
THAT IT'S MOVING FORWARD WITH
MAYBE CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM AND IT
WILL BE EASING SOME RESTRICTIONS
IN THE COMING DAYS.
>> AS OF MONDAY, MAY 11th AT
12:01 a.m., RETAIL STORES WITH
A STREET ENTRANCE WILL BE
ALLOWED TO PROVIDE CURBSIDE
PICK-UP.
>> Adrienne: GARDEN CENTRES
AND NURSERIES WILL ALSO BE OPEN
FOR BUSINESS AHEAD OF MOTHER'S
DAY THIS WEEKEND.
SO WILL HARDWARE STORES.
ALL WILL HAVE TO ENSURE PHYSICAL
DISTANCING AND PROPER PUBLIC
HEALTH MEASURES ARE IN PLACE.
SO HOW AND WHERE WE WORK HAS
CHANGED SINCE THE START OF THE
PANDEMIC.
AND AS WE MOVE TOWARDS REOPENING
THOSE CHANGES ARE FAR FROM OVER.
AARON SALTZMAN LOOKS AT SOME
OF THE WAYS THAT THE WORKSPACES
WILL HAVE TO ADAPT TO KEEP
EMPLOYEES SAFE.
>> Reporter: TO GET A SENSE OF
WHAT CANADA'S WORKPLACES MAY
LOOK LIKE, LOOK TO OTHER
COUNTRIES AHEAD OF THE CURVE,
LIKE ITALY WHERE THEY HAVE
INSTALLED TRAFFIC LIGHTS FOR
WASHROOMS.
GREEN MEANS GO, LITERALLY.
THEY HAVE ALREADY PASSED
TEMPERATURE CHECKS TO GET INTO
THE BUILDING.
AND ONCE INSIDE A SMARTPHONE APP
MONITORS IF THEY'RE WITHIN A
METRE AND A HALF OF SOMEONE ELSE
FOR MORE THAN 15 SECONDS.
IT'S NOT A TOOL TO SPY ON US,
THIS WORKER SAYS, IT MAY BE A
LITTLE LESS BIG BROTHER IN
CANADA, BUT EXPERTS SAY THAT
WORKPLACES HERE WILL ALSO SEE
BIG CHANGES.
>> WE STARTED THE PROJECT --
>> Reporter: THIS GLOBAL REAL
ESTATE FIRM IS SUGGESTING
ONE-WAY HALLWAYS AND DESKS WITH
FLEXY GLASS DIVIDERS AND WORKERS
USING
DISPOSABLE PADS TO LIMIT HARD
SURFACE CONTACT AND TO ALLOW FOR
EASIER CLEANING.
SHARED AREAS LIKE LOUNGE SPACE
MAY NEED TO BE BOOKED IN
ADVANCE.
ELEVATORS WILL BE LIMITED TO
JUST A FEW PEOPLE PER RIDE,
WHICH COULD MEAN LONG QUEUES IN
HIGH-RISE TOWERS.
BUT THAT WOULD BE MITIGATED BY A
GRADUAL RETURN TO WORK STARTING
WITH PERHAPS TWO OR THREE DAYS A
WEEK IN THE OFFICE AND
ALTERNATING THOSE DAYS BETWEEN
CO-WORKERS.
MANY OF THESE MEASURES COULD
STAY IN PLACE UNTIL THERE'S A
VIABLE VACCINE OR A TREATMENT.
THAT COULD MEAN WORKING FROM
HOME IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER FOR
MONTHS OR POSSIBLY EVEN YEARS.
FOR SOME THE CHANGE COULD EVEN
BE PERMANENT.
>> A LOT OF COMPANIES ARE NOW
SEEING THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO
STILL BE EFFICIENT WHILE A LOT
OF THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE NOT IN
THE OFFICE.
>> Reporter: THAT COULD HAVE
AN EFFECT ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
VALUES.
>> IF THAT'S 20% OR 30% OF THE
POPULATION WORKING FROM HOME,
CERTAINLY THAT WILL SOFTEN
DEMAND FOR REAL ESTATE.
>> Reporter: BUT EVEN WITH
FEWER PEOPLE INSIDE, SHE SAYS,
OFFICES WILL LIKELY NEED MORE
SPACE TO KEEP PEOPLE SEPARATE.
EITHER WAY, RETURN TO WORK MAY
NEVER TRULY BE RETURN TO NORMAL.
AARON SALTZMAN, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: NOW IT'S NOT JUST
BUSINESSES BUT EMPLOYEES
PREOCCUPIED RIGHT NOW WITH HOW
TO RETURN TO WORKPLACES SAFELY.
CHRISTINE BIRAK WITH THE
ANXIETIES THAT SOME ARE FEELING
JUST WITH THE THOUGHT OF GOING
BACK.
>> Reporter: ELLEN SCHULTZ
FEELS CUT OFF FROM HER FAMILY
AND SHE'S TIRED OF LIVING IN A
BUBBLE.
BUT LIKE MANY DENTAL HYGENTISTS
SHE'S ALSO WORRIED ABOUT GOING
BACK TO WORK.
>> SOME NIGHTS I CAN'T FALL TO
SLEEP AND I'LL WAKE UP AT 2:00,
3:00, 4:00 IN THE MORNING
THINKING ABOUT IT.
IT SEEMS THE CLOSER I GET, THE
MORE ANXIOUS I GET.
>> Reporter: A RECENT SURVEY
FOUND
THAT A QUARTER OF CANADIANS WANT
TO RETURN TO THEIR REGULAR WORK
SCHEDULE.
THE REST PREFER TO WORK FROM
HOME MORE OFTEN OR ONLY GO INTO
WORK WHEN NEEDED.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S PROBABLY
THE MAJORITY OF US, IF NOT ALL
OF US, THAT HAVE A CERTAIN
DEGREE OF ANXIETY.
>> Reporter: DOCTORS SAY THAT
MOST OF US HAVE THE SAME
QUESTIONS -- IS IT SAFE TO GO
BACK TO WORK?
DOES MY EMPLOYER HAVE THE RIGHT
PROTOCOLS AND EQUIPMENT TO KEEP
ME SAFE?
AND COULD GOING INTO WORK END UP
AFFECTING MY LOVED ONES?
>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
OPEN UP THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND
NORMALIZE THOSE REACTIONS AND
SAY LET'S HEAR ABOUT THOSE
CONCERNS.
>> I CAN'T FIND ANY MASKS
ANYWHERE.
CATHERINE HAY RUNS HER OWN
BUSINESS.
SHE CAN STAGGER APPOINTMENTS BUT
TREATMENTS ARE OFTEN
FACE-TO-FACE.
SHE'S NOT SURE HOW TO MANAGE THE
RISK OF ASYMPTOMATIC SPREAD.
>> I'M REALLY HOPING TO GET SOME
GUIDELINES FROM SOME EXPERTS ON
WHAT TO DO.
>> THE QUESTION I THINK AT THIS
MOMENT IS WHAT IS
ACCEPTABLE.
AND I THINK THAT THE GOALS ARE
SHIFTING.
>> Reporter: LEADING EXPERTS
SAY THAT EMPLOYEES CAN DO A
BASIC RISK CALCULATION BASED ON
THEIR AGE AND UNDERLYING HEALTH
CONDITIONS.
BUT IT'S UP TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
KEEP SOCIETY SAFE.
>> GUIDANCE THAT COMES CENTRALLY
FROM ESSENTIALLY FROM THE
GOVERNMENT THAT IS ENTRUSTED
WITH THE PUBLIC GOOD IS WHERE WE
SHOULD BE.
>> Reporter: THE DENTAL OFFICE
WHERE SCHULTZ WORKS HAS AN
INFECTION CONTROL PLAN.
BUT SHE'D SLEEP BETTER KNOWING
THAT SHE
DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BACK UNTIL
ALL PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS
AGREE THAT IT'S SAFE.
CHRISTINE BIRAK, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Andrew: WELL, A SENSE OF
RELIEF FOR HOSPITAL STAFF IN
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR AFTER
DOZENS OF COVID-19 TEST RESULTS
CAME BACK NEGATIVE.
AT LEAST 100 STAFF AT THE HEALTH
SCIENCES CENTRE IN ST. JOHN'S
WERE FORCED INTO SELF-ISOLATION
AFTER HAVING CONTACT WITH A
POSITIVE PATIENT OVER THE
WEEKEND.
SO FAR ALL BUT ONE HAS NOW
TESTED NEGATIVE.
>> Adrienne: THE EFFORT TO
BRING BACK THOUSANDS OF
CANADIANS IN COUNTRIES LOCKED
DOWN BY THE PANDEMIC IS FAR FROM
OVER.
AND DESPITE SOME HARD WORK BY
GOVERNMENT STAFF AND THE HELP OF
FOREIGN AIRLINES, ASHLEY BURKE
TELLS
US THAT SOME HAVE FOUND IT A
BUMPY RIDE.
>> Reporter: CANADIAN
OFFICIALS CALL IT THE BIGGEST
PEACETIME REPATRIATION IN
HISTORY.
AND ALMOST TWO MONTHS IN IT'S
STILL UNFOLDING.
>> I'M HAPPY THAT I HAVE COME
BACK HERE FINALLY.
>> Reporter: THESE PASSENGERS
WERE ON THE 21st FLIGHT FROM
INDIA.
MORE THAN 20,000 CANADIANS
REMAIN REGISTERED THERE UNDER
COMPLETE LOCKDOWN.
>> I WAS MENTALLY SICK THERE,
AND I JUST WANT TO SEE MY KIDS
AND JUST TRYING TO COME BACK AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: LET ME BE CLEAR, IF
YOU'RE ABROAD, IT'S TIME FOR TO
YOU COME HOME.
>> Reporter: SINCE THAT
MESSAGE IN MARCH, HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF CANADIANS TRAVELLED
HOME ON THEIR OWN.
BUT AS BORDERS CLOSED AND
FLIGHTS WERE CANCELLED,
CANADIANS WERE LEFT STRANDED.
THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES BECAME
FULL-TIME TRAVEL AGENTS.
>> IN THE TWO WEEKS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE CRISIS WHEN WE
WERE TRYING TO REPATRIATE
PEOPLE, WE GOT ABOUT 58,000
EMAILS FROM CANADIANS ABROAD.
>> Reporter: ROUGHLY 25,000
CANADIANS HAVE NOW FLOWN HOME ON
SPECIAL CHARTER FLIGHTS.
ABOUT HALF ON FOREIGN AIRLINES.
>> WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO THEM,
SOMETIMES DIRECTLY, SOMETIMES
THROUGH THEIR NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT, AND THEY HAVE
MANAGED TO HELP US IN 80
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.
AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO BRING THE TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF CANADIANS THAT WE BROUGHT
HOME WITHOUT THEIR HELP.
>> IT WAS A LONG FLIGHT.
>> Reporter: ETHIOPIAN
AIRLINES HOPSCOTCHED ACROSS
AFRICA, PICKING UP CANADIANS
IN 10 COUNTRIES.
PHILIPPINE AIRLINES SCOOPED UP
PASSENGERS TRAPPED ON REMOTE
ISLANDS WHERE TRAVEL WAS BANNED.
AND QATAR AIRWAYS REPATRIATED
MORE THAN 4,000 PEOPLE FROM
INDIA.
BUT THIS INTERNATIONAL OPERATION
HASN'T BEEN WITHOUT COMPLAINTS.
>> $3,000 PER PERSON FOR A
ONE-WAY TICKET, YES.
AND THERE'S NO SOCIAL DISTANCING
ON THE PLANE, IT WAS A FULLY
LOADED PLANE.
>> Reporter: GLOBAL AFFAIRS
SAY THEY'RE DOWN NOW TO THE
FINAL AND MOST COMPLICATED
CASES, HELPING CANADIANS
STRANDED IN THE MOST REMOTE
PLACES,
LIKE THE MOUNTAINS IN SOUTH
AMERICA.
BUT THE OFFICIALS HAVE SAID FROM
THE BEGINNING OF THIS CRISIS
THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET
EVERYONE HOME.
ASHLEY BURKE, CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Adrienne: PROTESTS ERUPTED
IN GEORGIA TODAY AFTER VIDEO
EMERGED SHOWING THE KILLING OF
AN UNARMED BLACK MAN.
>> HE WAS HUNTED DOWN LIKE AN
ANIMAL AND KILLED.
>> Adrienne: UP NEXT, WHY NO
ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE MORE THAN
TWO MONTHS AFTER THE SHOOTING.
>> Andrew: PLUS, CURBSIDE
SHOPPING GETS THE GREEN LIGHT
FROM SOME HEALTH OFFICIALS BUT
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE BUSINESSES
THAT USED TO LOOK LIKE THIS?
>> Adrienne: AND ONE GIANT
LEAP FOR HOLLYWOOD.
WHY NASA IS TEAMING UP WITH TOM
CRUISE TO SHOOT A MOVIE IN
SPACE.
WE'RE BACK IN TWO.
>> Adrienne: WELCOME BACK.
THERE IS A GROWING CALL FOR
CRIMINAL CHARGES AFTER VIDEO
SURFACED OF A SHOOTING IN
GEORGIA TWO.
WHITE MEN FATALLY SHOT A
25-YEAR-OLD BLACK MAN WHILE HIS
MOM SAID THAT HE WAS JUST OUT
FOR A JOG.
THE CASE HAS THREATENED TO
IGNITE THE COMMUNITY.
KATIE SIMPSON BRINGS US THAT
STORY AND
PART OF THE VIDEO THAT SOME MAY
FIND DISTURBING.
>> Reporter: SEE THE MAN THERE
JOGGING DOWN THE ROAD?
THAT'S AHMAUD ARBERY.
AND IN A LITTLE OVER 30 SECONDS,
HE'LL LAY
DYING IN THE STREETS.
THE CAMERA IS JOSTLED AROUND AS
ARBERY APPROACHES A STOPPED
TRUCK AND TRIES TO RUN AROUND
IT.
BUT A SHOT IS FIRED AS HE'S
CONFRONTED BY TWO ARMED MEN,
LEADING TO A STRUGGLE.
IT MOVES IN AND OUT OF THE
CAMERA'S VIEW.
THE 25-YEAR-OLD IS HIT AND
COLLAPSES.
>> HE WAS OUT FOR HIS DAILY JOG
AND HE WAS HUNTED DOWN LIKE AN
ANIMAL AND KILLED.
>> Reporter: THE KILLING HAS
SPARKED PROTESTS AND DEMANDS FOR
ARRESTS.
>> JUSTICE WAS NOT GIVEN IN THIS
CASE AND THAT WE'VE GOT TO
CORRECT IT AND CORRECT IT
IMMEDIATELY.
>> Reporter: THE TWO MEN FROM
THE TRUCK ARE WHITE.
A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER AND HIS
SON, WHO TOLD INVESTIGATORS THAT
ARBERY LOOKED LIKE A LOCAL
ROBBERY SUSPECT, SO THEY GRABBED
A COUPLE GUNS AND FOLLOWED HIM.
THEY'RE CLAIMING THAT THEIR
ACTIONS WERE IN SELF-DEFENCE.
AUTHORITIES ARE PROMISING TO
BRING THE NEW EVIDENCE BEFORE A
GRAND JURY TO SEE IF CHARGES ARE
WARRANTED, BUT THERE ARE CALLS
FOR POLICE TO ACT NOW.
>> YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING SITTING
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO MAKE AN
ARREST TO MAKE THIS COMMUNITY
SAFE?
>> Reporter: LAWYERS FOR
ARBERY'S FAMILY ARE COMPARING
THIS TO THE KILLING OF TRAYVON
MARTIN, AN UNARMED TEENAGER SHOT
BY A MAN WHO CLAIMED THAT HE
LOOKED SUSPICIOUS.
>> LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE ADVOCATED
IN TRAYVON MARTIN'S CASE, PEOPLE
SHOULD NOT TRY TO TAKE THE LAW
INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.
>> Reporter: AS OUTRAGE GROWS,
SO TOO DOES DIVISION.
>> WE'VE GOT TO HAVE VERY REAL
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE AND NOT
JUST WITH OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN
BOYS AS I HAVE TO HAVE WITHIN MY
HOUSEHOLD, BUT AS A COUNTRY, AS
A WHOLE.
>> Reporter: GETTING EVIDENCE
BEFORE A GRAND JURY WILL TAKE
TIME.
SOME COURT PROCEEDINGS IN
GEORGIA ARE DELAYED BECAUSE OF
THE PANDEMIC.
KATIE SIMPSON, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Andrew: HERE IN CANADA, A
27-YEAR-OLD MAN IS DEAD AND AN
RCMP OFFICER IS IN HOSPITAL
AFTER A DRAMATIC POLICE CHASE
THROUGH CENTRAL ALBERTA TODAY.
>> THERE'S A COP.
LOOK AT HIM.
>> Andrew: THE CHAOTIC SCENE
WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA JUST SOUTH
OF EDMONTON.
THE RCMP SAY THAT IT STARTED
THIS MORNING WHEN THE OFFICERS
WERE SHOT AT WHILE RESPONDING TO
A FIREARMS COMPLAINT JUST NORTH
OF RED DEER.
A FEMALE BY-STANDER WAS SHOT AND
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL WITH SERIOUS
INJURIES.
THE SUSPECT FLED BUT WAS LATER
KILLED DURING AN EXCHANGE OF
GUNFIRE
ON A HIGHWAY OUTSIDE OF LEDUC.
ALBERTA'S POLICE WATCHDOG IS NOW
INVESTIGATING.
>> IT'S NOT THE TIME TO BE
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR ROADWAYS
FOR ANY REASON.
>> Andrew: AND THIS JOYRIDE
DOWN TORONTO'S GARDNER
EXPRESSWAY WILL COST THESE
SKATEBOARDERS HUNDREDS OF
DOLLARS.
POLICE HAVE NOW IDENTIFIED AND
FINED THE THREE INDIVIDUALS FOR
USING THE USUALLY BUSY DOWNTOWN
HIGHWAY AS A SKATE PARK.
>> Adrienne: STILL AHEAD ON
"THE NATIONAL"... CELEBRATING A
WORLD FAMOUS 1-YEAR-OLD.
>> I TURN THE PAGE AND THEN WHAT
HAPPENS?
LET'S TURN THE PAGE.
>> Adrienne: HARRY, MEGHAN AND
ARCHIE WITH A NEW FAMILY VIDEO
AND MORE TO COME -- THE STORY OF
THE ROYAL'S
REBRANDING JUST AHEAD.
>> Andrew: IN A MOMENT WE'LL
HAVE OUR DOCTORS IN TO FIELD THE
WHOLE RANGE OF QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS ABOUT HOW QUICKLY WE
GET SOCIETY MOVING AGAIN.
INCLUDING THIS ONE -- I DON'T
FEEL SAFE GOING BACK TO WORK AND
BEING AROUND OTHER PEOPLE.
AM I OVERREACTING?
>> Adrienne: THIS ISN'T JUST
ANY PARADE.
THIS IS HOW YOU RESPOND TO
COVID-19 IN NUNAVUT.
OR SHOULD WE SAY TO THE LACK OF
COVID-19.
NUNAVUT'S ONLY PRESUMED CASE
TURNED OUT TO BE A FALSE
POSITIVE.
AND THESE DAYS THAT IS
REASON ENOUGH TO CELEBRATE.
THE TERRITORY REMAINS THE ONLY
PROVINCE OR TERRITORY WITHOUT
THE VIRUS.
A SIGH OF
RELIEF IN NUNAVUT AND FOR ALL OF
CANADA.
>> Andrew: WELL, TONIGHT WE'VE
GOT LOTS OF QUESTIONS FOR OUR
DOCTORS.
ALL ABOUT REOPENING OUR WORLD.
AND HERE TO LEND THEIR GUIDANCE
AND EXPERTISE IS E.R. PHYSICIAN
DR. TASLEEM NIMJEE AND
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
SPECIALIST DR. ALLISON McGEER.
A LOT TO GET TO TONIGHT, SO
LET'S BEGIN.
NUMBER ONE, DR. McGEER, THIS
IS FOR YOU.
HOW LONG BEFORE NON-ESSENTIAL
WORKERS CAN GO BACK TO WORK?
>> SO THE FIRST ANSWER IS A
WHILE.
AND THE SECOND ANSWER IS, AREN'T
ALREADY SOME OF THEM GOING BACK
TO WORK THIS WEEK?
THERE'S GOING TO BE A GRADUAL
PROCESS WHERE WE TRY TO ALLOW AS
MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN TO GO BACK
TO WORK WHILE NOT TRIGGERING THE
OUTBREAK AGAIN.
SO FOR SOME PEOPLE IT'S GOING TO
BE A MATTER OF DAYS.
FOR SOME PEOPLE IT'S GOING TO BE
AT LEAST WEEKS.
>> Andrew: OKAY.
DR. NIMJEE, HERE'S THE NEXT
QUESTION FOR YOU THAT I'D LIKE
YOU TO FIELD FOR US.
I DON'T FEEL SAFE GOING BACK TO
WORK AND BEING AROUND OTHER
PEOPLE.
AM I OVERREACTING?
>> I THINK THAT THE FIRST THING
IS, NO, YOU'RE NORMAL AND
THERE'S A LOT OF ANXIETIES
AROUND THIS.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT
WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOMETHING
LIKE THIS.
I THINK WHAT IS PERSPECTIVE IS
TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A LOT
OF MEASURES IN PLACE BEFORE
WE'RE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO GO BACK
TO WORK.
AS LONG AS YOUR EMPLOYERS ARE
FOLLOWING THOSE MEASURES AND
YOU'RE FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE
THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU AND
KEEPING DISTANCES.
AND THERE'S GOING TO BE
STAGGERED SHIFT TIMES AND THINGS
LIKE THAT, THOSE ARE ALL THERE
TO HELP TO KEEP YOU SAFE.
>> Andrew: OKAY.
DR. McGEER, IF YOU'VE
RECOVERED FROM COVID-19, CAN YOU
STOP PHYSICAL DISTANCING?
>> WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE?
THE ANSWER IS, NO, NOT AT THE
MOMENT.
WE'RE REALLY HOPING THAT PEOPLE
HAVE RECOVERED AND ARE PROTECTED
IN BOTH THE SHORT AND THE
LONG-TERM FROM INFECTIONS.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET.
AS LONG AS WE DON'T KNOW THAT,
IT'S JUST NOT SAFE TO SAY THAT
YOU CAN IGNORE SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
>> Andrew: OKAY, GOOD TO KEEP
IN MIND.
DR. NIMJEE, STILL ON REOPENING,
WHAT COULD STORES DO TO MAKE
SURE THAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE?
>> YEAH, SO THERE'S DIFFERENT
THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO.
ONE IS CERTAINLY RAMPING UP
THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES,
AND THAT'S CLEANING THINGS DOWN
MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THEY WOULD
HAVE HAD TO HAVE DONE BEFORE.
THEY CAN ALSO DO THINGS LIKE
HAVING
SPECIAL HOURS WHERE THOSE WHO
MIGHT BE MORE VULNERABLE COULD
USE THOSE HOURS AND KEEP THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE GOING THROUGH
THEIR STORES AT THOSE TIMES
FEWER TO ALLOW, AGAIN, FOR NOT
BUMPING INTO PEOPLE AND NOT
BEING ABLE
TO PRESERVE THOSE DISTANCES.
SO THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE OF IT.
AND JUST STAGGERING HOURS.
SO EVEN FOR THE REST OF US THAT
MIGHT FIT NORMAL HOURS YOU CAN
LIMIT THE FLOW GOING THROUGH A
STORE.
AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT,
INCLUDING LIMITING THE SERVICES
THAT YOU'RE PROVIDING WHEN YOU
STARTING TO OPEN UP.
IT'S ALL ABOUT A PHASED
APPROACH.
>> Andrew: BUT I NOTICED THAT
YOU DIDN'T MENTION
P.P.E., PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT.
>> SO, YEAH, THERE IS THAT AS
WELL.
AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO
WATCH IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ALL
DECIDE TO DO FROM A UNIVERSAL
MASKING TYPE OF PERSPECTIVE.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF USE
IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF CLOTH
MASKS THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
SEEN.
WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS A
DIRECTIVE TO SAY THAT YOU MUST
DO THIS, I'M NOT CERTAIN THAT IS
GOING TO BE
THE WAY THAT PEOPLE WILL GO.
BUT FOR THOSE PROVIDING SERVICES
WHERE THEY'LL BE IN CLOSER
CONTACT, THAT'S WHERE YOU WILL
SEE A LOT MORE REQUESTS TO USE
THE APPROPRIATE TYPES OF P.P.E.
>> Andrew: TIME FOR ONE MORE
QUICK QUESTION, DR. McGEER,
ONE THAT MANY PROVINCES ARE
GRAPPLING WITH.
WHAT COULD A SAFE RETURN TO
SCHOOL LOOK LIKE FOR STUDENTS?
>> WELL, A LOT LIKE DR. NIMJEE
HAS ALREADY BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
SO IT ALLOWS THEM TO MAINTAIN
SOCIAL DISTANCE, ADDITIONAL
HANDWASHING AND ALCOHOL RUB FOR
HAND HYGIENE.
AND CARE TO NOT ALLOW CROWDING.
AND IT'S QUITE A BIT HARDER TO
TELL A
6-YEAR-OLD THAN TO TELL ADULTS,
BUT ALL OF THE SAME MEASURES --
TRYING TO MAINTAIN DISTANCING
AND KEEPING THINGS CLEAN AND
MAKING SURE THAT HAND HYGIENE IS
GOOD.
>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT, DOCTORS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
AND, HEY, FOR ALL OF YOU, KEEP
THOSE QUESTIONS COMING.
YOU CAN REACH US ON
INSTAGRAM AT @cbcthenational
OR SEND US AN EMAIL TO
covid@cbc.ca.
>>> AS YOU HEARD DR. NIMJEE SAY,
PART OF GIVING BAC GIVE GETTING BACK TO A
NEW NORMAL MAY INCREASINGLY
INCLUDE MASKS.
SO IN TONIGHT'S HOW-TO GUIDE,
KEEPING YOURS CLEAN.
HOW DO YOU DISINFECT YOUR MASK
AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DO IT?
FOR ANY CLOTH YOU CAN THROW IT
RIGHT IN THE WASHING MACHINE.
IT'S THOUGHT THAT THE WARMER THE
WATER, THE BETTER.
BUT HONESTLY THE TEMPERATURE MAY
BE LESS
OF A FACTOR THAN THE SIMPLE FACT
THAT IT'S THE SOAP THAT IS
DISMANTLING THE VIRUS AND
WASHING IT DOWN THE DRAIN.
IT'S FOR THAT REASON THAT
STEAMING IS THOUGHT TO NOT BE AS
RELIABLE.
MAYBE YOU MISS A SPOT OR YOU
NEVER GET THE CLOTH HOT ENOUGH
FOR LONG ENOUGH TO RELIABLY KILL
THE VIRUS.
AND KEEP IN MIND THAT NOT ALL
HOMEMADE MASKS ARE MADE EQUAL.
SO IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS OF
THROWING IT IN A WASHING
MACHINE, YOU CAN ALWAYS THROW IT
IN A DELICATES
BAG TO BE SAFE OR WASH IT BY
HAND AND YOU HAVE TO DO A
THOROUGH JOB.
YOU WANT TO WASH IT AS IF YOU
KNOW THAT THERE'S CORONAVIRUS ON
IT.
AS FOR HOW OFTEN YOU WASH YOUR
MASKS, WELL, IDEALLY IT'S AFTER
EVERY USE.
SO JUST IMAGINE IN A DOCTOR'S
CONTEXT THAT WOULD BE AFTER
EVERY PATIENT.
BUT FOR YOU AND ME AFTER EVERY
OUTING.
SO YOU COME HOME AND YOU WASH
YOUR HANDS AND YOU WASH YOUR
MASK.
NOW ONE LAST THING ABOUT MEDICAL
GRADE MASKS.
CONSIDERING THEY'RE IN SHORT
SUPPLY, THEY'RE NOT FOR YOUR
USE.
AND THEY'RE NOT DESIGNED FOR
RE-USE EITHER.
DISINFECTING THEM COULD DAMAGE
THEM.
SO DON'T TRY IT AT HOME.
>> Adrienne: COMPANIES ARE
EVALUATING HOW TO OPERATE SAFELY
AS THE RESTRICTIONS EASE.
BRIAR STEWART SHOWS US AN ICE
CREAM COMPANY THAT IS BACK IN
BUSINESS THOUGH IT'S CHOSEN NOT
TO REOPEN ITS STORES.
>> Reporter: THIS IS A LOOK AT
A BUSINESS OPERATING IN THE
COVID-19 WORLD.
VANCOUVER'S EARNEST ICE CREAM IS
PUMPING OUT 2,400-PINTS A DAY
WHILE ITS FOUR SHOPS REMAIN
SHUTTERED.
>> WE LAID OFF 70 PEOPLE RIGHT
OFF THE BAT.
>> Reporter: THAT'S
THREE-QUARTERS OF THEIR
EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THE BIGGEST
PART OF THEIR BUSINESS, THE
HANDS ON TASK OF SCOOPING ICE
CREAM FOR CUSTOMERS, IS NO
LONGER SAFE.
THEY SHUT DOWN THEIR ENTIRE
RETAIL BUSINESS FOR A FEW WEEKS.
AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO LAUNCH
CURBSIDE PICK-UP WITH A SKELETAL
STAFF SPACED OUT THROUGHOUT THE
KITCHEN.
RIGHT NOW THEY'RE ONLY MAKING
HALF OF
THEIR NORMAL REVENUE.
>> WE HAVE RENT AND BILLS
HAPPENING AT THE REST OF THE
SHOPS THAT ARE CLOSED, YEAH,
IT'S DEFINITELY UNNERVING AND A
LITTLE FRIGHTENING.
>> Reporter: EVEN AS PROVINCES
MOVE TO LIFT SOME RESTRICTIONS,
BUSINESSES ARE IN LIMBO, TRYING
TO DECIDE WHETHER TO OPEN OR
EVEN IF IT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE
TO DO SO.
>> WE NORMALLY HAVE PROJECTIONS
THAT ARE PRETTY ACCURATE THAT
TAKE US THROUGH THE COURSE OF
OUR YEAR.
WE HAD TO JUST THROW THAT OUT
THE WINDOW AND TO START FROM
SCRATCH.
ALL RIGHT, HERE'S YOUR ICE
CREAM.
>> Reporter: THE CO-OWNERS SAY
THAT THEY
RECEIVED A LOT OF COMMUNITY
SUPPORT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Reporter: CUSTOMERS ARE
ABLE TO PICK UP PINTS WITHOUT
COMING INTO CONTACT WITH ANYONE.
BUT THERE IS THE LEAN SUMMER
AHEAD.
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE ICE
CREAM CRAVING CROWDS SPILLED OUT
ON TO THE STREETS.
>> WE WOULD HAVE SEVEN OR EIGHT
PEOPLE JUST SCOOPING ICE CREAM
BEHIND THE BAR, SO IT'S REALLY
HARD TO MAINTAIN PHYSICAL
DISTANCING.
SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN REOPEN OUR
SHOP IN SOME CAPACITY, BUT I
DON'T THINK THAT IT WILL BE IN
THE WAY THAT WE HAVE OPERATED IN
THE SUMMER IN YEARS PAST.
>> Reporter: INSTEAD, THEY
PLAN TO KEEP THEIR STORES CLOSED
TO CUSTOMERS BUT OFFER CONES
FROM THE CURB.
IT'S ALL ABOUT ADAPTING BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO INDICATION
OF WHEN IT CAN BE BUSINESS AS
USUAL AGAIN.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," THE LESSONS AND
GHOSTS OF EPIDEMICS PAST.
IN 2014, LIBERIA WAS DEVASTATED
BY THE EBOLA VIRUS.
NEXT, I SPEAK WITH THE COUNTRY'S
FORMER PRESIDENT ABOUT HOW GOING
THROUGH THAT TRAUMA ONCE, AND
LIVING WITHOUT HUGGING OR
TOUCHING, HAS PREPARED THEM TO
DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
(*)
>> Adrienne: CHINA CONFIRMED
JUST TWO COVID-19 CASES TODAY
AND NEITHER WAS IN
WUHAN PROVINCE THAT HAS NOT
RECORDED A CASE IN 32 DAYS.
BUT IN IRAN A SETBACK, ITS
HIGHEST DAILY TALLY OF NEW
INFECTIONS SINCE MID-APRIL.
IN INDIA OFFICIALS SAY THAT
TOMORROW THEY'LL BEGIN TO
REPATRIATE 400,000 CITIZENS
STRANDED OVERSEAS.
EUROPE HAS HAD SOME MIXED NEWS.
ICELAND JUST HAD TWO CASES IN A
WEEK.
THE U.K., WHERE MORE THAN 30,000
PEOPLE HAVE DIED, SAYS THAT IT
MAY EASE LOCKDOWN MEASURES ON
MONDAY.
SO SPAIN TODAY RE-UPPED ITS
STATE OF EMERGENCY FOR TWO MORE
WEEKS.
AND THEN THERE'S AFRICA, THE
CONTINENT IS WEEKS BEHIND EUROPE
AND NORTH AMERICA.
TO DATE ITS 54 COUNTRIES
TOGETHER HAVE SEEN FEWER CASES
AND FEWER DEATHS THAN CANADA.
MARGARET EVANS EXPLAINS WHY NOW
FEAR IS NOW GROWING ACROSS IT.
>> Reporter: AFRICA -- A
CONTINENT AS VAST AS IT IS
VARIED.
NOW FIGHTING COMMON CALLS
AGAINST COVID-19, AN ENEMY THAT
PREYS ON FRAILTY.
AND THERE IS PLENTY OF THAT.
IN SOUTH SUDAN, THE VIRUS IS A
NEW PREDATOR ON AN ALREADY
CROWDED FIELD.
HUNGER LEADS THE PACK, WITH HALF
OF THE POPULATION RELYING ON
FOOD AID.
MANY LIVING IN CROWDED CAMPS.
HOSPITALS IN RURAL AREAS ARE FEW 
AND FAR BETWEEN.
AND UNTIL LAST WEEK, THERE WERE
REPORTEDLY ONLY
FOUR VENTILATORS IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
PLAGUES OF LOCUST AND WIDESPREAD
FLOODING, FURTHER COMPLICATING
THE PICTURE.
THE WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME HAS HIT
UP THREE GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN
HUBS LIKE THIS ONE, TO GET AID
WHERE IT IS NEEDED MOST.
>> EVEN THE BEST OF TIMES THE
SITUATION IN THIS REGION IS
DIRE.
THE WHOLE REGION IS JUST TOO
FRAGILE TO EVEN START RESPONDING
IN ANY MANNER LIKE CHINA, LIKE
EUROPE.
>> Reporter: THIS IS MATERA,
AN INFORMAL SETTLEMENT IN
TEEMING NAIROBI.
MILIAN GREW UP HERE.
HE SAYS THAT IF PEOPLE HAVE TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN
FOOD AND A MASK, FOOD WILL WIN.
SO HE GOT SOME SEWING WORKSHOPS
GOING AND THEY'RE HANDING THEM
OUT FOR FREE.
>> WHEN WE GET TO WHERE WE WILL
BE HAVING A HUNDRED
DEATHS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND THE
ONLY THING THAT WE'LL SUPPLY
WILL BE THE BODY BAGS.
>> Reporter: SOUTH AFRICA WAS
ONE OF THE FIRST COUNTRIES TO
ACT AGAINST THE VIRUS AND THE
MOST SEICIVELY.
NOW IT'S
EASING ITS LOCKDOWN.
FIGHTING H.I.V. HAS GIVEN HEALTH
CARE WORKERS AN ADVANTAGE.
AFRICA'S CENTRES FOR DISEASE
CONTROL AND PREVENTION AIMS TO
DISTRIBUTE ONE MILLION TEST KITS
ACROSS THE CONTINENT OVER THE
NEXT MONTH.
A TALL ORDER AND JUST THE
BEGINNING.
MARGARET EVANS, CBC NEWS,
LONDON.
>> Adrienne: JUST AS COVID-19
IS THESE DAYS, A FEW YEARS AGO
IT
WAS EBOLA THAT WAS THE EARTH'S
MOST FRIGHTENING VIRUS.
THE COUNTRY OF LIBERIA BORE ITS
HORRIBLE BRUNT THEN.
SO HOW ARE ITS PEOPLE MANAGING
NOW?
AND WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM A
PLACE THAT'S BEEN THROUGH WHAT
WE'RE ENDURING NOW?
(*)
THIS COVID AWARENESS SONG IS
MEANT TO BE MEMORABLE FOR
LIBERIANS.
IT HELPS THAT THE MAN WITH THE
MIKE IS THE COUNTRY'S PRESIDENT.
* TOGETHER WE WILL FIGHT THIS
DREADED DISEASE NOW *
>> Adrienne: PLEADING FOR
CAUTION, ONE OF THE FEW TOOLS IN
A PLACE WHERE
MOST HOMES ARE WITHOUT CLEAN
WATER.
ANOTHER TOOL?
THE GHOST OF EBOLA.
THIS IS ABOUT THE ONLY THING
THAT IT SEEMS THAT WILL STOP THE
EXPONENTIAL SPREAD OF THIS
VIRUS.
IN 2014,
EBOLA KILLED THOUSANDS THERE AND
CHANGED EVERYONE.
TO NOT TOUCH OR TO MOURN THEIR
DEAD TOGETHER SCARRED ALL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MAKING
TIME FOR
US, MADAM PRESIDENT.
THEN ELLEN JOHNSON SIRLEAF WAS
PRESIDENT.
SHE'S STILL HAUNTED BY LIVING
WITHOUT EMBRACES AND CAN BARELY
BELIEVE THAT HER FELLOW
LIBERIANS HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT
AGAIN.
>> ONCE THEY'RE DENIED THAT, IN
A WAY YOU TAKE A BIT OF THEIR
SOULS.
THEY BECOME ROBOTS.
THEY BECOME LESS THAN WHAT THEY
ARE.
>> Adrienne: TRAUMA ECHOING.
COVID-19 HAS KILLED FEWER THAN
TWO DOZEN PEOPLE IN A COUNTRY OF
FIVE MILLION BUT IT'S JUST
BEGINNING.
>> THIS TIME EVEN MORE DIFFICULT
THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE, A LITTLE
BIT OF FEAR THAT WE'RE NOT
REALLY PREPARED TO BE ABLE TO
HANDLE THIS.
>> Adrienne: MORE DIFFICULT
THAN EBOLA?
THAT'S HARD TO FATHOM.
BUT, STILL WITHOUT ENOUGH
DOCTORS OR NURSES OR THE TESTING
CAPACITY, THE FEAR IS THAT
INFECTIONS ARE BEING MISSED.
>> THERE'S ALSO ANXIETY AS TO
WHETHER OUR REPORTING CAN BE
RELIED UPON, GIVEN THE
INEFFICIENCY OF OUR DATA.
>> Adrienne: IN 2014, AS MANY
LIBERIANS DIED OF MALARIA AND
T.B. AND OTHER DISEASES AS EBOLA
BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET
MEDICAL CARE.
THE FEAR OF THAT RISES AGAIN.
AS DOES ONE ABOUT VACCINES.
AFTER AN EARLY SUGGESTION FROM
FRENCH SCIENTISTS THAT THE
VACCINES BE TESTED ON THE
CONTINENT.
>> AFRICA HAS BEEN THE GUINEA
PIG IN SO MANY CASES.
THAT THERE'S A GENERAL
RESISTANCE TO ANYONE THAT SAYS
THAT AFRICA IS THE PLACE TO GET
THIS TESTED.
>> Adrienne: THE SUGGESTION
WAS SHUT DOWN FAST, AND THE
ANXIETY CONTINUES.
SO MUCH OF THE GENETIC
INFORMATION ABOUT COVID-19 COMES
FROM CASES ON THE CONTINENT, BUT
THE WORRY IS THAT A VACCINE
WON'T BE AS EFFECTIVE THERE.
YET FOR ALL THERE IS TO BE
AFRAID OF, SIRLEAF STILL
BELIEVES THAT THERE'S ROOM TO
HOPE.
>> I THINK WE'LL GET THROUGH
THIS.
I THINK WE'RE ADJUSTING ALREADY
TO A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE.
>> Adrienne: SHE AND LIBERIA
HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE
UNTHINKABLE ONCE AND POISED NOW
TO DO IT AGAIN.
>>> STILL AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL," A BIT OF GOOD NEWS,
REALLY.
THE FORT McMURRAY COUPLE WHO
THREW CAUTION TO THE WIND AND
GOT MARRIED IN A FLOOD.
>>> BUT FIRST...
>> WOW.
>> Andrew: A TRIBUTE FROM
ARTIST BANKSY TO HEALTH CARE
WORKERS UNVEILED TODAY AT A
HOSPITAL IN ENGLAND.
IT SHOWS A LITTLE BOY TOSSING
OUT HIS OLD SUPERHEROS IN FAVOUR
OF A NEW ONE IN THIS PANDEMIC --
A NURSE.
>> SUCH A NICE REWARD FOR ALL OF
THE STAFF WHO
HAVE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD
THROUGHOUT THIS.
>> Andrew: "PAINTING FOR
SAINTS"
WILL EVENTUALLY BE SOLD WITH
PROCEEDS GOING BACK TO THE
HOSPITAL.
BUT BEFORE THE FINANCIAL BOOST A
MORALE BOOST FOR WEARY WORKERS.
>> JUST BEING PROUD, A
>> Andrew: WELL, IT'S BEEN
JUST
OVER A MONTH SINCE PRINCE HARRY
AND MEGHAN MARKLE QUIT THEIR
ROYAL DUTIES.
NOW THEY'RE CELEBRATING THEIR
SON'S BIRTHDAY IN THEIR FIRST
HOME AND ATTEMPTING A MAJOR
RE-BRAND
WHILE THEY'RE AT IT.
KIM BRUNHUBER HAS THE STORY.
>> FOR OUR FAVOURITE STORIES
WE'RE GOING TO READ "DUCK,
RABBIT."
>> Reporter: FOR A COUPLE
DEFINED BY RISK, THIS IS AS SAFE
AS IT COMES.
AFTER ALL, WHO COULD OBJECT TO
RAISING MONEY FOR CORONAVIRUS
RELIEF ON BABY ARCHIE'S FIRST
BIRTHDAY?
BUT THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF
SUSSEX DIDN'T LEAVE FOR L.A. TO
MAKE VIDEOS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> MY SOURCES TELL ME THAT
THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY BEING
SHOPPED FOR PROJECTS AND THEY
ABSOLUTELY HAVE PRICE TAGS
ASSOCIATED TO THOSE PROJECTS.
>> THE PROTECTIVENESS --
>> Reporter: MEGHAN MARKLE'S
FIRST PROJECT, DOCUMENTING A
DISNEY DOCUMENTARY ABOUT
ELEPHANTS.
BUT THE NEXT CHAPTER ANNOUNCED
THIS WEEK PROMISES TO BE MORE
CONTROVERSIAL, A BOOK ABOUT THE
COUPLE THAT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN
WRITTEN WITH THEIR SAY SO.
>> THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT YOU
WANT TO DO IN P.R. IS TO FIND
YOURSELF, PARTICULARLY BEFORE
SOMEONE DEFINES YOU.
>> Reporter: NEXT, SOME
SPECULATE THEY COULD LAND A
DEVELOPMENT DEAL WITH A MAJOR
STREAMING COMPANY.
BUT AS PRODUCERS, NOT ACTORS.
>> SITCOMS AND KEEPING UP WITH
THE SUSSEXES, LIKE THE
KARDASHIANS, AIN'T GOING TO
HAPPEN JUST YET.
>> Reporter: SOME SUGGEST THAT
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR A
COUPLE MARKETING THEMSELVES AS
ROYAL DISRUPTERS.
>> IN ORDER TO COMPETE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT THAT IS CONSTANTLY
IN FLUX IS TO TAKE RISKS.
>> Reporter: BUT FOR AN
INSTITUTION BUILT ON TRADITION,
THERE'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN
DISRUPTION AND DESTRUCTION.
>> THEY ARE ENTERING DOWN A ROAD
THAT COULD BE A BLOOD BATH TO
THE REPUTATION OF THE ROYAL
FAMILY, AND TO REALLY FOR THE
FIRST TIME TO PUT IT OUT FOR
SALE.
>> Reporter: EXPERTS SAY IN
THE POST-COVID WORLD, A RISK
AVERSE HOLLYWOOD MAY BANK ON
PROVEN VETERANS.
HERE IN L.A., MEGHAN AND HARRY
ARE LIKELY NOT EVEN THE BIGGEST
STARS ON
THEIR BLOCK.
>> SO THEY'LL HAVE TO MOVE TO
THE BACK OF THE LINE FOR A
WHILE.
>> Reporter: THE ROYAL COMPANY
MAY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING THEY'RE
UNACCUSTOMED TO DOING -- WAIT.
KIM BRUNHUBER, CBC NEWS, LOS
ANGELES.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," CONSIDER THEM LOVERS
IN A DANGEROUS TIME.
THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT THEIR "I
DOs" WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.
WHY THIS FORT McMURRAY COMPANY
-- COUPLE DECIDED TO WADE TO THE
ALTAR.
BUT FIRST --
>> Andrew: TOM CRUISE HAS
TAKEN A RISK OR TWO TO GET THAT
PERFECT SHOT.
THAT'S NOT A STUNT DOUBLE
SCALING THE WORLD'S TALLEST
BUILDING.
(*)
HE BROKE AN ANKLE FILMING THIS
CHASE SCENE.
>> I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE THAT
LEVEL OF IMPACT HITTING THE
WALL.
AND I JUST PUT MY FOOT OUT AND
TRIED TO SOFTEN THE IMPACT AND I
KNEW INSTANTLY IT WAS BROKEN.
>> Andrew: NOW THE "MISSION
IMPOSSIBLE" STAR IS PREPARING
FOR HIS MOST DARING ROLE YET,
HIS FIRST HOLLYWOOD MOVIE SHOT
IN SPACE.
AND A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR NASA.
AN ADMINISTRATOR TWEETING "NASA
IS EXCITED TO WORK WITH TOM
CRUISE ON A FILM ABOARD THE
SPACE STATION," ADDING THAT HE
HOPES THAT IT WILL INSPIRE A NEW
GENERATION OF ENGINEERS AND
SCIENTISTS.
>> WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SIGHT.
>> Andrew: AND INTERESTINGLY,
CRUISE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD IDEA
OF WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO.
IN 2002 HE NARRATED AN IMAX
DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE BUILDING
OF THE I.S.S.
NO WORD YET WHEN PRECISELY
CRUISE WILL TAKE HIS CAREER TO
THE NEXT FRONTIER.
(*
>> Adrienne:  THIS HAS BEEN A
ROUGH COUPLE OF YEARS FOR
BRIANNE AND RANDY AND NOW THE
FLOODING THERE HAS CLAIMED THEIR
NEWLY BOUGHT HOME AND SO COVERED
IN MUD, SURROUNDED BY
FLOODWATER, THEY DECIDED THIS
WAS THE MOMENT TO FIND
MUCH-NEEDED JOY.
THEIR WEDDING IS OUR "MOMENT,"
TOO.
>> WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT.
>> Adrienne:  THEY WERE GOING TO
GET MARRIED NEXT YEAR BUT WHEN
THEY WENT TO VISIT THEIR RUINED
HOUSE ON SATURDAY, THEY DECIDED
THEY WANTED TO TIE THE KNOT
RIGHT AWAY.
>> NOBODY GATHER AND EVERYBODY
STAND APARTICIPANT.
>> Adrienne:  THEY LINED UP A
WEDDING AND DROVE OUT TO THEIR
FLOODED PROPERTY.
>> WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO
WITNESS THE FORMAL JOINING OF
RANDY OLAY AND BRIANNE SHUCKLY.
>> Adrienne:  SOME FAMILY
MEMBERS WATCHED THE LIVESTREAM
FROM AFAR AND FINALLY --
>> I DO THROUGH FIRE AND FLOODS.
[ Laughter ]
>> BRIANNE, I GIVE YOU THIS
RING.
>> Adrienne:  THEY DIDN'T HAVE
TIME FOR RINGS, SO GREEN STRING
DID THE TRICK.
>> I ACCEPT THIS STRING --
[ Laughter ]
>> Adrienne:  GOOD FOR THEM AND
BOY, ARE THEY GOOD SPORTS.
THEY DIDN'T JUST MEET FOUR YEARS
AGO BUT FELL IN LOVE.
THEY REBUILT THEIR SAVINGS AND
BOUGHT THEIR DREAM HOME AND YOU
SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT.
THESE TWO ARE AMAZING.
>> Andrew:  WHO KNOWS IF DOWN
THE ROAD THEY'LL DECIDE TO DO
THIS CEREMONY AGAIN IN A
DIFFERENT WAY BUT I RECKON THEY
WON'T NEED TO.
THE MEMORY OF THIS WILL
CERTAINLY THEM JUST FINE FOR A
LONG TIME.
THAT'S "THE NATIONAL" FOR THIS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 6th.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
