Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday spoke about the recent results from American pharma giant Moderna regarding its vaccine being 94.5 per cent effective, saying the company has submitted its product for Health Canada review, but added Canadians need to double down on working to prevent to COVID-19 as a vaccine isn’t effective until a person actually gets it.

Trudeau said he particularly was speaking to young people, saying while it may seem the virus is more a concern for their grandparents, even if young and healthy getting COVID-19 can be "incredibly serious," saying it could leave a person with heart or lung issues or a person can die from the virus, regardless of age.

The prime minister again stressed people need to wear a mask, wash hands, avoid public gatherings, and get a flu shot.

He also advised people that if they ever test positive for COVID-19 to reach out to a friend or family member, saying he recognizes getting the virus can be scary, referencing when his wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau contracted the virus in March.

Canada surpassed 300,000 total confirmed cases on Monday, with the death toll at 11,027.
