NEW: For the first time since December, U.S. daily cases are below 300,000.
Monday marked the 11th straight day of the so-called"Freedom Convoy" protests, which began with truckers critical of a new rule that they must be vaccinated against COVID-19 to cross the Canada-U.S. border. The demonstrations have since grown into broader challenges to pandemic-related public health measures and opposition to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.Truckers stand in line as they block the Ambassador Bridge on the I-75 and I-96 highways in Detroit, Mich., Feb. 7, 2022.
The House of Commons of Canada held an emergency session on Tuesday to discuss the demonstrations. In an opening statement, the prime minister said he understands"people are tired" of COVID-19 but that protests are not the answer.While Trudeau's opponents argued that the country is at a crisis point, the prime minister rejected any notion that Canadians are divided.
Oregon will lift general mask requirements for indoor public places no later than March 31, state health officials announced Monday. However, the Oregon Health Authority said the state needs to keep mask requirements in place for now as COVID-19 hospitalizations crest and the health care system struggles to treat high numbers of severely ill patients.
