2 draws were conducted in the last few days. If they are not processing applications, why would they conduct them.

yes but it honestly seems like everything has stopped for the time being, there are no updates even on the immigration tracker
 
I had emailed CIC and recieved the below response:

We verified the information on file and can confirm that:
  • The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied,
    • you may be contacted via your account if additional information is needed.
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification is currently valid.
  • The medical examination results on file are valid.
Does "valid" mean complete in this context?

signifies that someone Senior needs to review it before marking it pass.
You will probably get a Ghost Update and your medical status shows Passed.
