Canada is not planning for the moment to use troops to help combat a spreading coronavirus outbreak, although the option remains on the table, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Sunday. The province of Quebec – where 8.5 million people are spread across a landmass the size of western Europe – on Saturday said it was restricting access to eight remote regions with often patchy access to healthcare. Quebec is also stationing police on the border with the United States to ensure returning travelers know they must go into isolation.
