Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the shipment of one million masks to Canadian provinces and territories.
He adds that the province has secured millions of pieces of vital equipment from companies.
Trudeau says too many Canadians are still going on needless outings, potentially encouraging the spread of COVID-19.
He says that puts health workers at risk, and that threatens everyone who might need medical care.
Trudeau says none of the lost jobs, or the efforts to crank up the national systems for distributing goods, will be worth it if Canadians don't stay home as much as possible.
Trudeau will speak with premiers later today to work out an approach to get critical medical supplies to communities that need them.
