The latest data from Google and Apple suggests that Canadians are spending about as much time at home, in workplaces and visiting stores as they were last May, even though the average daily number of new COVID-19 cases is now more than six times what it was then. Google has been tracking population-level movement trends since last February by comparing the amount of time its users spend in various locations to pre-pandemic levels.
In a brief statement shared Sunday morning, the team said the day s training camp practices and workouts were cancelled. "The decision was made out of an abundance of caution due to potential exposure of COVID-19," the statement read.
