A global pandemic is bringing new questions, concerns and confusion every day. We’re trying to stay on top of the latest information on how COVID-19 is spread and what epidemiologists are discovering as the coronavirus moves around the globe. And, the US and Canada have agreed to partially close its northern border to non-essential travel. Also, with millions of people working from home during the coronavirus outbreak, many have been tethered to their screens. 90s fitness guru Derrick Evans, also known as Mr. Motivator, speaks with The World about how to stay active during the day even if you’re stuck at home.
