Now’s no time to become complacent about COVID-19, experts warn

This week, some retailers in Ontario reopened their doors. Golfers and tennis players hit the links and the courts. And even if you can’t get a haircut yourself, your dog can now go in for a trim. In Quebec, police checkpoints have disappeared from bridges and elementary students are back in school.
