Global News shows that the Canadian government is really extending many of its emergency COVID-19 benefits as the deadly Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic continues.
The Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) and the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit will be extended by 12 weeks. Also, another two weeks will be added to the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit.
The Canadian government is also increasing Employment Insurance (EI) availability to 50 weeks in total, meaning an additional important 24 weeks can be claimed.
Canada has had a recent decline in COVID-19 cases, however the daily Coronavirus numbers are under threat from new variants that could cause the numbers to go up.
If there exists a possibility that some vaccines can be stored at higher temperatures, this would make it easier for the products to get to remote and low-income regions. Health Canada is in important discussions about these issues.
