The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is calling on provincial governments to look at alternatives to lockdowns in fighting the Corona-19 virus. The CFIB says one in six businesses has considered permanent closure due to lockdowns and 74-thousand have now closed permanently. They say renewed contact tracing efforts, widespread use of rapid testing and expedited use of vaccines are the alternatives that should be implemented. 70% of Canada’s small businesses say government help is needed for them to survive.
