1/9 To stay healthy & prevent spread of #COVID19 we MUST use multiple prevention measures TOGETHER like keeping 2 metres away from others, frequent #handwashing, covering coughs… – we need layers of protection. #Olderadults #LayerUpCOVID
2/9 As #COVID19 research emerges, #Publichealth experts & researchers across 🇨🇦 critically evaluate the strength of new evidence before recommending safe ways to change practices. Prevention MUST be layered. #LayerUpCOVID
3/9 🇨🇦’s Special Advisory Committee on #COVID19 reached consensus on NON-MEDICAL masks/FACIAL COVERINGS’ use in public as an added layer of protection to help YOU PROTECT OTHERS by reducing spread of droplets, even before you have symptoms. #LayerUpCOVID

1/3 Global science on #COVID19 is emerging at a fast pace. Recent studies from countries that have analysed transmission patterns for large numbers of cases now demonstrate pre-symptomatic virus spread is occurring. #PlanktheCurve
2/3 This means that the virus causing #COVID19 can be spread from an infected person in the period _just before_ their symptoms appear. Evidence suggests that this is happening more often than previously thought. #PlanktheCurve
3/3 There is also evidence that some infected people who never develop symptoms are also able to transmit the virus. This is called asymptomatic transmission. #COVID19 #LayerUpCOVID #PlanktheCurve
1/6 For #COVID19 layering #publichealth protections is a MUST. Unless practiced well & maintained, none can be 100%. Our best layers are supported by strong evidence of effectiveness for prevention of respiratory infections. #PlanktheCurve #LayerUpCOVID
2/6 Where there is a gap or fail in one layer of protection, the layer above or below aims to cover that gap and maintain our protection. Canada knows how to layer for ☀️❄️☔️ – here’s how to layer up for #COVID19. #PlanktheCurve #LayerUpCOVID
3/6 We know that #SocialDistancing - keeping 2-metres apart from others – works, well –IF practiced consistently & never relaxed around others (⬅️gap?) & we assume anyone ↔ could be potentially infected (⬅️gap?) #COVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives #LayerUpCOVID
