Over the past several months, Health Canada has been working to ensure relevant and up-to-date information on COVID-19 is available online for healthcare professionals. This Health Professionals web page continues to be updated regularly as new information becomes available. We hope you will find this resource valuable.

Please find attached a summary of new information that has been added to the COVID-19 Health Product Industry web page since Oct. 1, 2020, in addition to the regular updates to lists of authorized health products, authorized clinical trials and shortages.

Of note, on Oct. 16, 2020 the Minister of Health signed an Interim Order Respecting the Prevention and Alleviation of Shortages of Drugs in Relation to COVID-19. This Interim Order provides additional tools to reduce the impacts of drug shortages related to COVID-19. An explanatory note and guidance have also been published.
