Here are the key developments from the last few hours: US state and local governments could need close to $1 trillion in aid over several years to cope with the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned.She told reporters: “We’re not going to be able to cover all of it, but to the extent that we can keep the states and localities sustainable, that’s our goal.” Asked if state and local aid would be the largest part of upcoming relief legislation, Pelosi said: “I’ve talked about almost a trillion dollars right there, I would hope so. But we do have other issues that we want to deal with.”President Donald Trump said he would “think about what’s happening.”Canada’s coronavirus curve is flat but worrying trends are emerging, particularly outbreaks in vulnerable indigenous communities, the country’s top medical officer said.The daily death toll in Canada has risen by 10 pr cent or more only once in the last 11 days. The total number of people killed by the coronavirus increased by 6% to 3,082 in a day, official data showed on Thursday. “The COVID-19 curve is flat ... (but) we have to be very cautious going down the other side of the epidemic curve,” chief public health officer Theresa Tam told a briefing. “Already on this path we have seen some worrisome transmission events emerging,” she said, citing increasing cases in remote aboriginal communities in several of Canada’s 10 provinces. Meanwhile, Alberta unveiled a plan to reopen its economy gradually, starting on Monday with some non-urgent surgeries, golf courses and services such as physiotherapists and social workers. The next stage begins as early as May 14, reopening retail businesses, hair salons, daycares and restaurants. Moving to that stage hinges on increased testing and contact tracing, and rules for using masks in crowded spaces. Alberta has not set dates for reopening schools.Ontario, which has not set dates to restart its economy, issued more than 60 guidelines for businesses when they reopen, ranging from markers and barriers to maintain physical distancing, and additional labor inspectors to ensure compliance.
