Hantavirus cruise, Nova Scotia's digital health record system, Elton John honoured in Toronto, and more

About this episode

In less than 24 hours, passengers aboard the cruise ship at the centre of a hantavirus outbreak will finally be back on terra firma. But their confinement has yet to end as health officials race to contain further spread of the respiratory virus. You'll hear how health officials are preparing, and how the four Canadians still onboard will be brought home.


Also: Nova Scotia is rolling out a new digital health records system this weekend. The goal is to give all providers treating a patient access to the same information. But for weeks, critics have called for the launch to be delayed. They the system has already led to patient harms in one Halifax hospital.


And: Elton John is being celebrated tonight in Toronto with an award that bears the name of another legendary pianist. John will receive The Glen Gould Prize tonight - for both his long music career and his humanitarian activism. 


Plus: Political turmoil for the U.K. Labour party, Job losses for Indians working in the Persian Gulf, and more.
