MONTREAL Several COVID-19 outbreaks among homeless Montrealers have led to such high infection numbers that the city’s system for homeless patients is being rejigged, with dozens of people to be moved between sites in the coming days. First, an entire pavilion of the old Royal Victoria Hospital, with about 125 beds, is being designated a “red” self-isolation zone. A second downtown hotel will also be turned into a shelter for homeless people who are COVID-negative, along with Place Dupuis, the one that opened this fall. “We’re adding a second hotel where [there] will be homeless,” said Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé on Tuesday.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford hailed the first COVID-19 vaccinations to arrive in the province as a “watershed moment” on Monday, but urged residents to remain patient while case numbers approach a record high.
“This is the biggest immunization program in a century, and our vaccine supply will arrive in stages,” Ford said in a statement.
“(Retired) general (Rick) Hillier and the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Task Force are working with Health Canada and other provincial and territorial partners to ensure the vaccines are distributed quickly, so people can get immunized as soon as possible,” he said.
OTTAWA The first COVID-19 vaccines were injected into the arms of Canadians on Monday, a historic moment some have dubbed âV-Day,â as the country enters a new phase of the ongoing fight against the novel coronavirus. In Ontario and Quebec, the first shots were administered to a small group of prioritized people on Monday, after Pfizer-BioNTechâs initial shipments of doses landed on Sunday night. This week, 14 sites across the 10 provinces will be receiving Canadaâs initial 30,000 doses, as the countryâs largest and most logistically complex mass-immunization campaign kicks off. âI m very pleased with how this is unfolding,â said the top military general who is leading the rollout from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin on Monday afternoon.
