The latest novel coronavirus news from Canada and around the world Tuesday (this file will be updated throughout the day). Web links to longer stories if available:

9:45 p.m.: The official death toll from the coronavirus soared in New York City on Tuesday after health authorities began including people who probably had COVID-19, but died without ever being tested.

Officials reported 3,778 “probable” deaths, where doctors were certain enough of the cause of death to list it on the death certificate, and 6,589 confirmed by a lab test. Combined, that would put the total fatalities in the city over 10,000.

The change in the city’s accounting of deaths came after officials acknowledged that statistics based only on laboratory-confirmed tests were failing to account for many people dying at home before they reached a hospital or even sought treatment.

6:05 p.m.: British Columbia has had three more deaths from COVID-19, all of them in long-term care homes, bringing the total number of fatalities in the province to 72.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, the provincial health officer, says 27 new cases of the disease have been confirmed.

That brings the total number of cases of COVID-19 in B.C. to 1,517.

She says 942 people have recovered from the illness.

5:55 p.m.: 37 out of 42 residents living at a Markham group home have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a joint statement put out by the home and Markham Stouffville Hospital. The home, Participation House, also said 12 staff have tested positive.

“This is deeply upsetting news for residents and staff and their families,” the home and hospital wrote Tuesday night.

A rapid response team has been put together at Markham Stouffville Hospital to support the outbreak and provide guidance to the home. The home said it is facing urgent staffing shortages, with the hospital kitchen providing meals for residents at the home. “There continue to be a number of challenges and the hospital is working with Participation House on sustainable solutions for staffing, medical support, infection control expertise and supplies,” the joint statement read.

York Region Public Health and York Region Paramedic Services are also providing support.

“I want to reassure our residents and their families that, with the support of the hospital, we are providing the care that is needed. We are working quickly to ensure that we have a sustainable system to provide the care that is needed on an ongoing basis as we work through this outbreak,” said executive director of the home Shelley Brillinger.

5:45 p.m.: Alberta is reporting 138 new cases of COVID-19. That brings the total in the province to 1,870.

Alberta’s chief medical health officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw says increases are to be expected with more testing.

She also reported two additional deaths — one at the McKenzie Towne care centre in Calgary and the other at the Shepherd’s Care home in Edmonton.

5:30 p.m.: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has spoken with Prince Charles about the impacts of COVID-19.

Charles, the Prince of Wales, tested positive for the respiratory disease last month.

The Prime Minister’s Office says Trudeau wished the prince good health and shared his appreciation for the message of hope and encouragement the Queen delivered to Canadians last week.

5:30 p.m.: The number of deaths at the St. Clair O’Connor long-term-care home has increased to seven, CEO Mary Hoare told the Star. Three of the seven passed away on April 9, while the others passed between April 2 and 3.

12 residents in the home have tested positive, while six have tested negative. 10 staff members of the home have tested positive, including “those at various stages of home isolation.” Two have since returned to work after recovering and “being followed by Toronto Public Health and having two negative results within 48 hours.”

There haven’t been any outbreaks of the virus at their independent apartments, Hoare said.

4:45 p.m.: Health officials in Saskatchewan announced only one new case of COVID-19 in the province for a total of 301,

It comes one day after Premier Scott Moe says if cases remain low, next week a plan will be presented on how to reopen parts of the provincial economy.

Moe says everything depends on whether new case numbers remain flat, and no matter what, the lifting of restrictions will be phased-in.

5 p.m.: With 67 more people reported dead of COVID-19 since Monday evening, Ontario has seen by far its deadliest 24 hours of the pandemic, according to the Star’s latest count.

As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, the province’s regional health units were reporting a total of 9,055 confirmed and probable cases of the disease, including 410 deaths.

Tuesday saw large increases in the epidemic’s death toll reported across the province. In Toronto, the city passed 100 deaths by tying its own largest one-day jump, up 23 fatal cases to 115; in Durham Region, the total rose by eight to 30 dead; in York Region, the rise was six, to 41; in Windsor-Essex it was five more dead, to 13; another four were reported dead in Peel Region; and the toll rose by eight in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark, Southwest of Ottawa — home to one of Ontario’s worst outbreaks at the Almonte Country Haven long-term care home.

Scores of people have died in ongoing outbreaks at Ontario long-term-care homes, but the scale of the overall toll is not clear. Some, but not all, of Ontario’s regional health units report detailed breakdowns of fatal cases in the facilities, but other do not, and the province does not regularly release that data.

With 569 new confirmed or probable cases reported since the same time Monday, the province saw its third day in a row of relatively low growth on a percentage basis, at 6.7 per cent. Last week, the province averaged 8.6 per cent daily growth; the week before that, it averaged 15.6 per cent growth.

Earlier Tuesday, the province reported it had tested 4,849 patients for the coronavirus the previous day, a slight decline from the total reported Monday.

On Friday, Premier Doug Ford pledged that testing would reach 8,000 tests a day by April 15. The province has said it has the capacity to complete about 13,000 tests daily.

According to the province, 769 patients are now hospitalized with COVID-19, including 255 in an intensive care unit, of whom 199 are on a ventilator — totals remain significantly less severe than Ontario’s worst-case projections. The province also says 3,568 patients have now recovered after testing positive.

The province says its data is accurate to 4 p.m. the previous day. The province also cautions its latest count of deaths — 334 — may be incomplete or out of date due to delays in its reporting system.

The Star’s count includes some patients reported as “probable” COVID-19 cases, meaning they have symptoms and contacts or travel history that indicate they very likely have the disease, but have not yet received a positive lab test.

4:15 p.m.: During Tuesday’s press conference Dr. Eileen de Villa said that there are 2,543 total cases of covid in Toronto including 2,257 confirmed cases and 286 probable cases. There have been 223 people hospitalized with 90 in intensive care units. There have been 38 active outbreaks in long-term care homes and 14 outbreaks in local retirement homes. In total there have been 68 deaths in long-term-care homes and 1 in a retirement home. In total, according to de Villa, there are 181 new cases and 115 people have died in Toronto.

3:42 p.m.: According to a press conference by the Ontario Ministry of Health 857 healthcare workers have tested positive for COVID-19 in Ontario.

3 p.m.: City of Toronto officials to provide COVID-19 update at 3:45 p.m. EST. A livestream will be available on thestar.com.

2:50 p.m.: Ontario has extended its state of emergency for another 28 days. The bill to extend the measure passed during a special session at the provincial legislature today. Premier Doug Ford says it is too soon to relax measures as the province continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

The order closes non-essential businesses and child-care centres until May 12.

2:47 p.m.: Premier Doug Ford says students will not be going back to class May 4, but that doesn’t mean the school year will be cancelled. Education Minister Stephen Lecce will have more information in the coming days.

2:36 p.m.: Premier Doug Ford says starting tonight caregivers can only work in one long-term care home at a time to stop the spread of COVID-19. Premier announces a new plan coming tomorrow to help in long-term care homes. Government has touted an “iron ring” around them, but elderly residents are still dying. Ford tells reporters “despite our best efforts we’re dealing with a wildfire in long-term care homes.”

2:20 p.m.: Premier Doug Ford and Ontario ministers provide COVID-19 update at 2:30 p.m. EST A livestream of the news conference will be available on thestar.com.

2:20 p.m.: The Manitoba government reported no new COVID-19 cases today.

The total remains at 246 cases, or 229 confirmed and 17 probable.

Nine people are in hospital, four of whom are in intensive care.

Ninety-nine people have recovered and the number of deaths remains at four.

1:38 p.m.: The U.S. Senate on Tuesday joined the House in delaying its next meeting in Washington, citing the need to protect members from the coronavirus pandemic.

The delay also gives lawmakers time more time to consider ways to deliberate while social distancing, amid ongoing talks about how to prop up the hard-hit economy. Congress is stalled over the followup to the largest rescue bill in U.S. history. Progress is complicated by the ongoing need to stay apart, the advanced ages of many lawmakers and by U.S. President Donald Trump’s insistence that social distancing be eased sometime soon.

1:17 p.m.: Ontario is expected to extend its state of emergency by another month on Tuesday, as a small group of politicians gathered at the provincial legislature to pass the bill.

Premier Doug Ford said the fight against COVID-19 is not over and it’s too soon to lift restrictions imposed during the pandemic.

The legislature began an emergency session Tuesday afternoon to extend the order, which closed non-essential businesses and child-care centres, by another 28 days. The government has not yet said whether school closures will be extended beyond the current end date of May 4.

1:15 p.m.: Quebec has recorded another 75 deaths connected to COVID-19, bringing the total to 435.

Premier Francois Legault says the province now has a total of 14,248 confirmed cases, an increase of 691. The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients has risen to 936, and of those 230 are in intensive care, an increase of four from Monday.

Legault says the biggest problem is in the province’s understaffed long-term care centres, and he issued an appeal for any health-care workers to step forward to help.

12:53 p.m.: Dr. Andrew Bond, medical director at Inner City Health Associates, says initial site for homeless people with COVID-19 in Toronto will have room for about 50; plans to have larger site in next few weeks for up to 400 people.

12:52 p.m.: An interim recovery site for homeless Torontonians with COVID-19 will open today, says Mary-Anne Bedard, head of shelter services for Toronto. Clients can expected to stay at site until cleared and can return to regular shelter system. Bedard also says one city shelter worker is infected.

12:41 p.m.: Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister is asking many government workers to accept a reduced work week to save money during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pallister says he will speak with union leaders to pitch his idea, which would affect civil servants and Crown corporation workers who are not on the front line. Pallister says a reduced work week is preferable to layoffs and the measure would be temporary, but there is no definitive end-time at this point. Pallister says workers who stay on the job two days a week, as an example, could collect federal benefits for the other three days and receive about three-quarters of their salary. Pallister says the reduced work week will not apply to politicians in the legislature.

12:39 p.m.: Starting at midnight, the federal government says all people returning to Canada will have to check in to a hotel or other designated site unless they have an acceptable self-quarantine plan.

The government says returnees — whether they have COVID-19 symptoms or not — must have an appropriate isolation plan that includes access to food and medicine. They will also be forbidden to live with vulnerable people, such as anyone older than 65 or with pre-existing health conditions.

12:20 p.m.: The 30 cases of COVID-19 are spread amongst clients of 7 different shelter-service settings in Toronto. Most have been resolved. Toronto Public Health investigating three outbreaks at Willowdale Welcome Centre, Dixon Hall and Seaton House.

12:14 p.m.: Both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer are fighting off criticism that they’re asking Canadians to do more to stop the spread of COVID-19 than they’re willing to do themselves.

Both men were forced Tuesday to defend trips they took with their families that appear to flout the physical distancing measures they’ve spent weeks imploring people to uphold.

Trudeau travelled from Ottawa into Quebec over the weekend to meet up with his family at their official country residence of Harrington Lake.

Non-essential travel in Canada has been restricted for weeks, and Quebec authorities in particular have asked people not to go to their cottages as part of that province’s efforts to stop the growth in the number of infections.

Trudeau says his trip was to join his family after not seeing them for three weeks, though he didn’t directly answer a question about appearing to disregard Quebec’s request.

Scheer packed his five kids and spouse onto a government jet to fly with him from their home in Regina to Ottawa in anticipation of the return of Parliament.

Scheer says bringing his family on the plane made more sense than having them fly commercial, and they took precautions to limit their interactions with the other passengers.

He didn’t directly answer a question about why his family’s trip could be considered essential.

(Updated) 12:10 p.m.: The City of Toronto says 30 residents in its shelter system have tested positive for COVID-19.

Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen de Villa says no one has died from the disease, but they are preparing for deaths among the homeless.

The city is trying to move those in the notoriously crowded shelters into other venues to allow for better physical distancing.

Some shelter residents are being sent to rooms in hotels that the city has recently purchased and leased in an effort to curb the spread of the disease.

De Villa says those who’ve tested positive for COVID-19 are being sent to a recovery centre. The city says an interim recovery centre will open today.

11:45 a.m.: The City of Toronto will provide an update on pandemic supports for individuals experiencing homelessness at noon. A livestream of the news conference will be available on thestar.com.

11:45 a.m.: The number of COVID-19 cases in Nova Scotia has jumped to more than 500 with 43 new cases identified by provincial health officials.

11:26 a.m.: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is spending $130 million to help communities in the North withstand the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than half the money is being sent to the three territorial governments for their health and social services.

But millions of dollars will support airlines that serve the North and subsidy programs to defray the cost of food and hygiene products that are expensive to ship.

11:04 a.m.: Ontario has seen another 42 deaths from COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, according to the Star’s latest count.

As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, Ontario’s regional health units are reporting 8,637 confirmed or probable cases of COVID-19 and a total of 362 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. The jump in deaths since the same time Monday ties Sunday-morning’s total as the highest one-day rise in the Star’s count since the beginning of the pandemic.

Significant jumps in the death toll have been reported across the province. On Tuesday morning, five more deaths were reported in Windsor-Essex, another four were reported in Peel Region, and the toll rose by four to 17 total deaths in Haldimand-Norfolk — home to one of Ontario’s worst outbreaks at the Anson Place long-term care home.

The Star’s count of the last 24 hours also includes steep jumps reported Monday evening in both Toronto, up 13 deaths to 92, and in York Region, up six to 35.

11 a.m.: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to give a COVID-19 update at 11:15 a.m. A livestream of the news conference was available on thestar.com.

10:56 a.m.: Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is calling for all the federal parties to strike a deal on a safe way for Parliament to meet.

Without one, business is scheduled to resume as normal on Monday, following a decision in March to send MPs and senators home as part of national efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Parliament has convened twice since to pass emergency aid measures, but with only the bare minimum of legislators in the House of Commons and Senate.

Scheer says no one wants to see either chamber packed with people, but resuming Parliament so there is some measure of accountability is essential.

10:52 a.m.: The North American Indigenous Games organizers announced the postponement of the July 2020 event on Wednesday, to adhere to public health and safety concerns surrounding COVID-19.

The 2020 games were scheduled for July 12-18 in Kjpuktuk (Halifax), Aldershot and Millbrook First Nation.

The committee is now regrouping and plans to meet with key stakeholders and partners. Organizers hope to make Halifax the host city in 2021 and have athletes that qualified for this year’s games remain eligible to compete next year.

More than 5,000 athletes, coaches and staff from over 700 Indigenous nations were expected at this year’s games.

9:49 a.m.: Leading British charities said the new coronavirus is causing “devastation” in the country’s nursing homes, as official statistics showed Tuesday that hundreds more people with COVID-19 have died than are recorded in the U.K. government’s daily tally.

The Office for National Statistics said 5,979 deaths that occurred in England up to April 3 involved COVID-19, 15% more than the 5,186 deaths announced by the National Health Service for the same period.

As of Tuesday the government had reported more than 12,000 deaths in the U.K. of people with the new coronavirus.

That total, updated daily, only includes people who died in hospitals. The higher figure, published weekly by the statistics office, includes deaths in all settings including nursing homes, and cases where coronavirus was suspected but not tested for.

9:44 a.m.: Stocks are opening higher on Wall Street Tuesday as traders gingerly embrace early signs that the White House and a number of state governors are considering how to gradually reopen the economy. Big companies also started reporting their first-quarter earnings, giving investors an early peek into how the coronavirus outbreak was affecting their business. Johnson & Johnson rose after beating earnings estimates, even thought the health care giant also had to slash its outlook. JPMorgan Chase rose after setting aside billions of dollars to cover potential losses.

9:35 a.m.: India has extended its nationwide virus lockdown of 1.3 billion citizens until May 3, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in an address to the nation on Tuesday.

“Social distancing and the lockdown has had a great benefit for the nation,” Modi said in his fourth speech since infections began ticking up sharply in mid-March. “From the economic point of view the cost has been great. We have to pay a high price. but compared to the lives of Indians there can be no comparison.”

Regions showing improvement in containing the virus spread up to April 20 may see some relaxation for essential activities, but that will also come with conditions, Modi said, noting the government will issue detailed guidelines on Wednesday.

“Please have compassion for the people who work with you and for you in your businesses and jobs —please do not fire anyone,” Modi said

India has so far reported 10,453 infections and 358 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

9:16 a.m.: Australia’s prime minister has described as “unfathomable” the World Health Organization’s support for the reopening of markets where live animals are butchered in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the coronavirus pandemic.

“We need to protect the world against potential sources of outbreaks of these types of viruses. It’s happened too many times. I’m totally puzzled by this decision,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Nine Network television on Tuesday. “I think that’s unfathomable, frankly.”

Health Minister Greg Hunt said he was unsettled by the reopening of the “wet markets” in Wuhan, which has been under a months-long lockdown. Some scientists believe the virus came from wild animals at a wet market, where many kinds of live mammals, poultry, fish and reptiles are kept and then butchered when they are sold.

WHO said in a statement that wet markets should not be allowed to sell illegal wildlife for food and authorities should enforce food safety and hygiene regulations. But it said “wet markets and other food markets do not need to be closed down.”

8:55 a.m.: Two residents of another British Columbia care home have tested positive for COVID-19, just days after health officials confirmed four staff members had been diagnosed with the respiratory illness.

In a letter to residents and families at South Granville Park Lodge in Vancouver, the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority says an outbreak has now been declared at the facility.

The province says 20 long-term care and assisted living homes have reported cases of the virus.

A total of 1,490 cases of the new coronavirus have been confirmed in the province and 69 patients have died.

8:54 a.m.: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took to morning TV shows Tuesday to push back against President Donald Trump’s claim of “total” authority to reopen the nation’s virus-stalled economy, noting that a president is not an absolute monarch.

“We don’t have a king,” Cuomo said on NBC’s “Today. “We have a president. That was a big decision. We ran away from having a king, and George Washington was president, not King Washington. So the president doesn’t have total authority.”

The Democratic governor, whose state has become the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, was reacting to Trump’s assertion Monday that “when somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total.”

“Nope,” Cuomo said.

8:49 a.m.: Beaten down by the coronavirus outbreak, the world economy in 2020 will suffer its worst year since the Great Depression of the 1930s, the International Monetary Fund says in its latest forecast.

The IMF said Tuesday that it expects the global economy to shrink three per cent this year — far worse than its 0.1 per cent dip in the Great Recession year of 2009 — before rebounding in 2021 with 5.8 per cent growth. It acknowledges, though, that prospects for a rebound next year are clouded by uncertainty.

The outlook for Canada calls for a contraction of 6.2 per cent this year followed by growth of 4.2 per cent in 2021.

8 a.m.: A Toronto hospital has declared a COVID-19 outbreak in its intensive care unit.

St. Joseph’s Health Centre says a patient who was recently in the unit had tested positive for COVID-19.

The hospital says two staff who had been in contact with that patient tested positive over the weekend and are both doing well at home.

7:30 a.m.: A seniors’ home in Toronto says a total of 25 residents have died from COVID-19.

Evelyn MacDonald, executive director of the Eatonville Care Centre in the city’s west end, says the number jumped Monday due to new Toronto Public Health reporting guidelines.

She says the deaths of nine residents due to unknown causes can now be attributed to COVID-19.

MacDonald says there are 49 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the home with six more test results pending.

7:24 a.m.: Global stocks edged higher Tuesday after President Trump said his administration is nearing completion of a plan to resume business activity in the U.S., where measures to control the coronavirus pandemic have brought parts of the economy to a standstill.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 1 per cent, suggesting U.S. blue-chip stocks will rebound after the New York opening bell. The pan-continental Stoxx Europe 600 advanced 0.6 per cent, while key stock benchmarks in the Asia-Pacific region closed higher.

Trump said Monday that he hopes to reopen the country “ahead of schedule,” though he didn’t offer a specific time frame for when normal activity may resume. The president is poised to announce a new working group on Tuesday that will focus on the economic effects of the coronavirus and analyze options for exiting the lockdown.

6:37 a.m.: A lack of new hot spots in the coronavirus pandemic appeared to be holding Tuesday, fuelling a debate about how soon authorities could start scaling back social restrictions and reopen economies.

While concerns remained over the virus’ fresh spread in places like Japan and Indonesia, nowhere was currently undergoing the explosion in hospitalizations and deaths that were seen earlier in China, southern Europe and parts of the United States.

Elsewhere, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended the world’s largest coronavirus lockdown on Tuesday to head off the epidemic’s peak, with officials racing to make up for lost time as the caseload crossed 10,000.

Modi ordered India’s 1.3 billion people to continue to largely stay inside until May 3, with some restrictions easing by April 20 to help poor people dependent upon daily wages.

5:55 a.m.: The Tour de France won’t begin as originally planned because French President Emmanuel Macron has cancelled all public events with large crowds through mid-July in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Organizers of cycling’s biggest event say it’s now impossible for the three-week race to start on June 27 in the Riviera city of Nice as scheduled, and add that it’s unclear if the race will be scrapped entirely from the calendar for this year.

4:30 a.m.: President Donald Trump claimed the “total” authority to decide how and when to reopen the economy after weeks of tough social distancing guidelines aimed at fighting the new coronavirus. But governors from both parties were quick to push back, noting they have primary responsibility for ensuring public safety in their states and would decide when it’s safe to begin a return to normal operations.

Trump would not offer specifics about the source of his asserted power, which he claimed, despite constitutional limitations, was absolute.

“When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total,” Trump said at the White House. “The governors know that.”

4:20 a.m.: Quebec continues to lead the country in deaths and infections from COVID-19 with many of the victims being elderly.

Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, says outbreaks in long-term care homes are the most crucial COVID-19 problem coming out of the last two weeks of the pandemic.

Tam said “close to half” the country’s 724 COVID-19 deaths as of midday Monday were in long-term care, where aging and vulnerable residents live and eat in close proximity to each other and where staff have been carriers or become infected. Read the Star’s full story here.

Monday 9:22 p.m.: Fifteen residents of Anson Place Care Centre have now died of COVID-19 as management and staff at the Hagersville, Ontario long-term-care home continue to grapple with a coronavirus outbreak.

Anson Place executive director Lisa Roth said 36 residents in long-term care and 19 in the retirement residence have tested positive, as well as 30 staff members who are in quarantine and no longer working at the facility.

The 55 residents who have contracted COVID-19 represent more than half of the 101 people who called Anson Place home before the pandemic.

9:05 p.m.: Hellenic Home for the Aged, which has two long-term-care facilities, reported 15 cases of COVID-19 among residents at its Scarborough facility on Monday.

There are no reported cases at its Toronto location, where there are 81 beds, and no deaths at the Scarborough location, which has 128 beds.

Hellenic Home said in a statement that residents who have tested positive are managing well, adding it is “closely monitoring any residents and staff showing symptoms as we are awaiting test results.”

8:30 p.m.: A nursing home in Etobicoke has reported a dramatic increase in the number of residents who have died from the novel coronarvirus.

Eatonville Care Centre revealed Monday that the number of COVID-19-related fatalities is now 25 – on Sunday it had reported an additional death, bringing the total then to 14 deaths.

In a media statement Monday, executive director Evelyn MacDonald explained that the increase in COVID-19 deaths reflects changes in provincial testing criteria.
