Measures taken due to coronavirus are increasing worldwide. Canada's biggest military exercise of the year, EX MAPLE RESOLVE, was cancelled as part of its efforts to keep troops healthy in case they are needed to provide assistance to the government because of the novel coronavirus. It was also stated that the travel permits of the military personnel abroad were cancelled.

Around 4,000 soldiers were expected to take part in the exercise to hold in May. Last year Canadian Army soldiers trained with elements of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the British Army, and the French Army and United States forces from the Army, National Guard, Army Reserve, and the Marine Corps
