Coronavirus: What's happening in Canada and around the world on Tuesday

The latest:
The European Commission said on Tuesday it would make sense for the United States to allow travel by people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot in Europe.
On Monday the White House said it would lift restrictions that bar EU citizens from travelling to the United States starting in November. It is not clear which vaccines will be accepted by U.S. authorities.
"We believe the AstraZeneca vaccine is safe," a spokesperson for the EU Commission told a news conference.
"From our point of view, obviously it would make sense for people who have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca to be able to travel."
The spokesperson noted that this is a decision for U.S. authorities.
The AstraZeneca vaccine was authorized by Health Canada for use in people aged 18 and up in late February. As of Sept. 16, health officials had distributed more than three million doses of the vaccine to the provinces, according to a tracking list published by the federal government.
