This morning Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the country with the latest update from the federal government.

He announced that as of Wednesday, Parks Canada is suspending visitor services at all national parks and historical sites. However it appears parks will still remain open, but that "anything with a door" will be closed to the public.

Trudeau also revealed details about a Global Affairs emergency loan program of $5,000, in order to get Canadians back home, or to accommodate their financial needs as they wait for their opportunity to return to Canada.

Trudeau also commended the province of Ontario for its move to declare a state of emergency, saying Ontario is taking the right steps to protect its people.

We are also expecting a major announcement tomorrow on economic assistance for those affected by this nation-wide issue.

By the end of the week, we're also expecting accommodations to the upcoming tax season to assist Canadians through this time.

The Prime Minister also discussed a brief return of the house of commons so that emergency economic measures could be passed through the house to provide support for Canadians.

We will bring you those details as they become available.
