Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is a realistic scenario that government measures to help stem the spread of COVID-19 could be in place until July.

Trudeau, who has avoided providing specific timelines on how long he expects restrictions and strict social-distancing demands to last during the pandemic, was pressed about the issue at his daily briefing for reporters in Ottawa Wednesday.

On Tuesday night, The National Post reported that a government document from last week stated modelling from the Government Operations Centre the federal agency that coordinates Ottawas response to emergencies suggests as a best case scenario that current measures continue until at least July.
