Authorities announced last month that it had thwarted a plot to "eliminate and neutralise" a number of people, including the president. It came a month after another failed effort to kill the head of the national police force. Among the latest arrests were 12 "active military and police personnel, including five generals, two captains and five non-co...

s Federal health officials have put together some information on what Canadians can do once they’re fully vaccinated. Outdoors, no physical distancing or masking is required within a small group of friends and family. However, if you’re in a larger group with people from multiple households, you should consider wearing a mask if everyone is not fully vaccinated. Indoors, Health Canada suggests reading the room if you’re not fully vaccinated, even if you’re sharing a room with someone who is fully vaccinated. If everyone in the indoor setting is fully vaccinated, health officials confirm that mask-wearing is unnecessary and it is okay to get close. That includes being close enough to hug. #federal #group #news #information #family #hugs #official #friend #friendsandfamily #wellbeing #friends
