CBC News: The National | Alberta requests fields hospitals for COVID-19 patients | Dec. 2, 2020

Alberta asks for help from the federal government and the Red Cross to set up field hospitals in order to accommodate the overwhelming number of COVID-19 patients in the province. The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now approved in the U.K. for emergency use. Plus, increased and earlier demand for Christmas trees this year has led to a shortage.
