President Donald Trump said Friday that White House trade adviser Peter Navarro would become the national Defense Production Act policy coordinator for the federal government.
Trump made the announcement at an afternoon press conference at the White House, saying he gave Navarro the new authorities when he signed an executive order earlier that day.
“My order establishes that Peter will serve as national Defense Production Act policy coordinator for the federal government,” Trump told reporters.
Alberta’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw, along with Premier Jason Kenney, provided an update on the province’s COVID-19 situation. It was announced that the province has ordered all non-essential businesses to close due to the pandemic.
The provincial government announced some big changes Friday as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases rose to 542 in Alberta.
Kenney said the restriction on mass gatherings was being tightened. People can no longer gather in groups of under 50; they must be smaller than 15. That includes indoor and outdoor events, the premier said, like weddings and funerals. He also stressed the two-metre social distancing rule must be observed.
The rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak continues to upend life around the world as more countries tighten quarantine measures. President Trump has downplayed the dangers of the pandemic, pressing that some Americans could return to work despite the advice of health experts. More than 68,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the United States, although experts say the true number is much higher.

Seventeen new cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Nova Scotia, bringing the province’s total to 90.
In a press conference Friday, the province said “most” of the new cases are connected to travel or a known case.
The 90 individuals affected range in age from under 10 to their mid-70s. Health officials say two are currently in hospital and three individuals have recovered and their cases of COVID-19 are considered resolved.
Cases have been identified in all parts of the province.
To date, Nova Scotia has 3,649 negative test results and 90 confirmed cases.
Ontario associate chief medical officer of health Dr. Barbara Yaffe announced three new deaths from COVID-19, two at a nursing home in the province, and a woman in her 80s in the Greater Toronto Area.
Yaffe said there were approximately 133 new cases, bringing the total to 993 confirmed cases in the province. She added Ontario will likely see the number of resolved cases go up above 200 in the coming days.
Ontario’s chief medical officer of health Dr. David Williams also spoke about the recently announced usage of the province’s emergency alert system to tell people returning from travel they must isolate for 14 days. He said the decision to bring in the alert now was another way to remind people it’s still a measure in place.
Ontarians got an emergency alert sent to their cellphones, radios and TVs at 2 p.m. Friday, warning recent travellers to stay at home.
The alert will tell travellers returning to Ontario that they are required by law to self-isolate for 14 days as they are at high risk of spreading COVID-19.
The message will say that everyone should stay home to help stop the spread of the virus.
Health Minister Christine Elliott says Ontario is using every tool to ensure people are well informed about the steps they should take.
New Brunswick is reporting seven new cases of COVID-19 in the province Thursday, bringing the provincial total to 33.
Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Jennifer Russell says all seven new cases are travel-related.
She says the current testing regime is focused on testing those most at risk.
Russell says she expects more people to be tested once the province sees any cases of community transmission.

The British government has unveiled another massive income support scheme, this time for 5 million or so self-employed people, many of whom face financial ruin from the shock of the coronavirus pandemic.
Treasury chief Rishi Sunak said the new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme will replicate the one he announced last week for those workers that firms retained rather than lay off.
Sunak said the government will pay self-employed people, who have been adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak, a grant worth 80% of their average monthly profits over the past three years, up to 2,500 pounds ($2,975) per month.
The province of Alberta is introducing penalties in an effort to ensure Albertans are following public health orders related to the COVID-19 crisis, Premier Jason Kenney announced on Wednesday.
Kenney said as a result, the province is “legally requiring people to act responsibly” as opposed to just asking people to do so. At the same news conference, Kenney said the province’s total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 had increased by 61 compared to a day earlier, bringing the total to 419.
The rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak continues to upend life around the world as more countries tighten quarantine measures. President Trump has downplayed the dangers of the pandemic, pressing that some Americans could return to work despite the advice of health experts. More than 46,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the United States, although experts say the true number is much higher.

As of Wednesday, eight new cases of COVID-19 have been identified in New Brunswick, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 26.
During a provincial update, Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province’s chief medical officer of health, said the cases are all related to travel.
Russell said the new cases involve individuals between the ages of 10 and 70.
As of Wednesday, Premier Blaine Higgs, who was also at the press briefing, announced there will be restrictions for all travellers coming from outside the province.
Countries that have locked down their populations to prevent the spread of the coronavirus need to use the time to find and attack the virus, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.
“Asking people to stay at home and shutting down population movement is buying time, and reducing pressure on health systems. On their own these measures won’t extinguish epidemics,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
During Wednesday’s briefing, Ghebreyesus laid out six things that countries must do to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, including ramping up production of testing for the virus, developing a clear plan to quarantine contacts and expanding the training of the healthcare workforce.
New York City will begin closing streets to traffic and ban close contact sports in city parks to help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday.
He called the street closures “a pilot program” and said sports like basketball would be banned in city parks, first on a voluntary basis as long as people comply, in rules agreed with New York City officials.
Cuomo added that New York state measures to control the coronavirus appear to be working as the rate of hospitalizations has slowed in recent days.
Tyson Fury defeated Deontay Wilder for the WBC Heavyweight Championship with a 7th round TKO. Fury was aggressive from the start, and never relented as he put Wilder on the canvas twice during the fight, before Wilder’s corner eventually threw in the towel.
