I’ll be doing a lot of my #COVID19 updates from home for the next while. I have some mild symptoms so the responsible thing for me to do is stay home.I will still be giving regular updates... pic.twitter.com/atynLNxPes — Don Iveson (@doniveson) March 24, 2020

"Listening is your duty and staying home is your way to serve," Trudeau said.

Iveson said he would continue to provide regular updates on Edmonton’s COVID-19 plan from home.
