Global National: April 24, 2021 | Ontario's strategy for vaccinating people in COVID-19 hotspots

On this episode of Global National: We look at Ontario's new vaccine strategy of using pop-up clinics in COVID-19 hot spots, as the province looks to recruit help from Atlantic Canada, which comes with its own complications. Mike Drolet looks at how the strategy is working after Ontario reported 4,000 new cases for a twelfth day this month.

Ontario is looking to recruit health-care workers from other parts of Canada, as the province's COVID-19 crisis pushes hospitals to the brink. Ross Lord explains where the help is coming from, and why pitching in has its own complications.

Plus, U.S. health officials lifted a 10-day pause on the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 jab, after a handful of people suffered rare blood clots after receiving the single shot vaccine. As Jennifer Johnson reports, many Americans are still hesitant to get inoculated.

Also, Japan has declared a third state of emergency ahead of the already delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, as cases of COVID-19 rise. As Crystal Goomansingh explains, strict safety precautions are in place, so the sporting event stays on track.
