In Prime Minister Trudeau’s daily COVID-19 update, he announced the implementation of the Quarantine Act.
That means people who don’t comply with self-isolation policies after returning from travel can face fines or possible jail time.
Trudeau also says Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau is in talks with the country's big banks to see if they can help Canadians struggling to pay their bills.
The federal government is asking banks and credit-card companies to lower their interest rates.
Trudeau says this is another part of his government's effort to help Canadians deal with these financially uncertain times.
