On the day Australia closed its borders to China, Canada had four confirmed COVID-19 cases, all linked to travel from China. Health Minister Patty Hajdu said Canada saw no need to declare an emergency and that Health Canada had seen no evidence of asymptomatic spread. Work refusals are reported to the labour ministry or a workplace safety commission, depending on the province, which sends an inspector to decide on the refusal. There have been COVID-19-related work refusals in other provinces as well, although the overall numbers remain low. CBC News readers, viewers and listeners have sent in countless questions about the COVID-19 pandemic, including this one from Ontario.
