Health Canada explains plans for COVID-19 Interim Orders and forthcoming regulatory amendments

As indicated in a previous blog post, Health Canada (HC) announced its intention to leave several Interim Orders relating to COVID-19 in place until at least the fall of 2021. By this time, the agency plans to have regulatory amendments in place that will maintain a balance between flexibility and regulatory oversight. In the weeks following this initial announcement, HC has released more information about the Interim Orders and its long-term plans.
