In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus a global health emergency. The virus, known as COVID-19, was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.
Then, on March 11, 2020, the WHO assessed COVID-19 as a pandemic.
Just like our response to the 2013 Southern Alberta Flood, and the 2016 For McMurray Wildfires, in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, EDA is taking the lead in providing ideas, tools and resources to accelerate business and economic recovery.
