1/3 As we continue with reopening, including very importantly reopening of our schools, this won’t be 2019’s back to work and school, but rather 2020’s back to modified spaces, adapted routines, and #COVID19 risk mitigation protocols.
2/3 These measures will continue forward as an integral part of our cautious approach to reopening to keep the #COVID19 infection rate down. There will be uncertainties ahead but we have shown strength, adaptability and #COVIDKnowHow …
3/3 and #Canada’s children will continue to show their #resilience as they get back to in-school learning and socializing that is key to helping them achieve their best long-term outcomes. #Youth #YoungCanadians #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/5 Living with #COVID19 has been very difficult in so many ways, but we can take these lemons and make lemonade by deciding to nurture and amplify the good that has come with the bad. #AttitudeofGratitude #COVIDCoping
2/5 Keeping our social circle small is an opportunity to deepen and enrich connections within our social bubble – these are our #COVID19 peops’ –cherish them, we will remember these days and the memories we make for a lifetime.
3/5 At the same time, networking virtually during #COVID19 has given us an unprecedented opportunity to expand our social circles as we take advantage of virtual book clubs and trivia nights!
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 : reports indicating ↑ #alcohol consumption among Cdns during COVID-19 are concerning. If you drink alcohol, consult Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines for ways to reduce health risks. camh.ca/-/media/files/…
2/4 A recent @CCSACanada survey found that Canadians are using more alcohol than usual during #COVID19, with most citing a lack of regular schedule, boredom and stress as reasons for increased alcohol consumption. ccsa.ca/sites/default/…
3/4 Recent @CAMHnews survey indicates that during the #COVID19 pandemic when asked about alcohol consumption “during the previous week”, one-in-four Canadians indicated they had engaged in binge drinking. camh.ca/en/health-info…
1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: today I’m highlighting #TakeThatStep @CdnTogether mental wellness initiative where people of ALL AGES can find mental wellness resources wherever you are in 🇨🇦, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
2/6 The ups & downs of living with #COVID19 can put our emotions on their own trajectory, from concern & cautious awareness to frustration & fatigue but also a sense of achievement #CrushtheCurve & hope. #COVIDCoping #WednesdayWellness
3/6 Given the level of uncertainty and changes in our lives over these past months, this range of emotions is to be expected. There have been losses that have caused grief and things we’ve prevailed against that give us hope. #TakeThatStep #MentalHealth
1/10 As restrictions are relaxed, places are reopening & the weather warms, we should all be feeling better, right? Yet this is not necessarily the case for many of us. Some are still concerned esp. about risks of #COVID19 severe outcomes. #COVIDCoping
2/10 The reality is we have adapted staying at home into our daily routines over the weeks and months of the #COVID19 pandemic and it has now become our habit.
3/10 Some habits that we’ve developed during #COVID19, like more frequent #handwashing and spending more time with our families, can be good things that we’ll want to carry on with going forward. #COVIDCoping
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: I continue to be concerned about a range of negative unintended consequences of this crisis. Among these are the worsening of crises like #opioids & ↑challenges managing events like #heatwave.
2/4 To maintain #COVID19 control, it’s vital that we keep up public health measures like #PhysicalDistancing, while finding innovative solutions and providing community & individual supports for those who need it most. #HelpOthers #COVIDCoping
3/4 #PublicHealth, community organisations, #volunteers & individuals have developed solutions and supports - all these efforts are needed! Working #StrongerTogether is how we make sure #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller
1/4 Get outside on SUNdays by going OUT SMART: keep UP with tried & true measures that we know can keep #COVID19 spread DOWN: #PhysicalDistancing #Handwashing #CleanYourHands #CoughEtiquette #StayHomeIfSick
2/4 BUT, going OUT SMART does NOT include going out when you are sick. If you are experiencing even mild symptoms of #COVID19 the RIGHT THING TO DO is #StayHomeIfSick & stay away from others to #StoptheSpread. #DoYourPart #ProtecttheVulnerable
3/4 In areas where #COVID19 activity may still be occurring, wearing a non-medical mask or face covering when you can’t keep a 2-metre physical distance can provide an additional layer of protection to help prevent spread. bit.ly/2XpkOoj
1/6 Go out smart by using core #publichealth practices to stay safe & #StopTheSpread by #PhysicalDistancing, avoiding common surfaces/objects, #CleanYourHands & extra layering with a mask where #COVID19 may still be active.
2/6 #PhysicalDistancing 2 metres from others keeps us far enough away to prevent coming into contact with potentially infectious droplets produced when people cough, sneeze, laugh, sing or speak, even if they don’t appear ill.
3/6 Avoiding touching common surfaces & objects reduces the likelihood of you contaminating your hands with #COVID19 infectious droplets. Avoiding touching your mouth, nose & eyes prevents you infecting yourself with the virus.
1/5 If we can all maintain core public health practices to the best of our ability, we’ll give ourselves the best chance of keeping #COVID19 activity down through the spring and summer. #PhysicalDistancing #WashYourHands #CoughEtiquette
2/5 This will give us the more lead time to work on a full range of #COVID19 preparedness activities in readiness for whatever may come this fall and winter. #KeepItUp #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller
3/5 As well, suppressing disease activity throughout the summer will continue to buy us more time for research and innovation on medical therapies and vaccine development. #COVID19 #Innovation #Science
1/5 Today, as part of #MentalHealthWeek, the focus is on children and youth who, like adults, have lots of questions about #COVID19, and are missing their friends, family members and regular routines #CYMH #ApartNotAlone #COVIDCoping
2/5 Parents & caregivers can find tips on communicating & sharing information on #COVID19 with kids and teens and how to calm fears, practise online safety and engage in activities that nurture mental & emotional health. kidshelpphone.ca/get-involved/p… #CYMH
3/5 Talking things out can help to process our thoughts and lift the weight of our emotions. When you start the conversation and share your own thoughts & feelings, it helps children & youth to open up and voice their own struggles. #StrongerTogether #GetReal

1/8 This weekend I am reflecting on what 🇨🇦’s #COVID19 cases and deaths mean in human terms. There is so much behind these daily numbers, it is almost impossible to encapsulate in words.
2/8 Each one of the cases counted has been an illness, striking fear and concern in a person and their family, friends and community. Each death has been an incalculable tragedy – requiring goodbyes from a distance. #COVID19 bit.ly/3fm5AsD
3/8 It is in these unimaginable tragic situations, that we are most thankful for everyone on the frontlines of this crisis. Offering comforting words, human connection & healing touches. #COVID19

1/11 Yesterday I presented an update on the progress that Canadians have made to #FlattenTheCurve of #COVID19. We also looked at some of the short-term predictions from our real-data forecasting models. canada.ca/content/dam/ph…
2/11 The #COVID19 forecast for 🇨🇦 is looking better, though we are not entirely out of the woods yet. We must remain mindful that our projections are only as reliable as our actions. #PlankTheCurve #PhysicalDistancing #WashYourHands
3/11 If we maintain measures that keep the #COVID19 growth rate down and prevent outbreaks and potential rebound of spread, we stand the best chance of remaining on this favourable trajectory. #KeepItUp #PlankTheCurve
1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: outbreaks in vulnerable settings and underserved populations continue to drive the #epidemiology of COVID-19, reminding us of the critical importance of addressing inequities. #ProtecttheVulnerable
2/8 Warmer weather & longer days can make us feel a bit antsy, as we sympathise with the kids in the back seat who wearily ask – Are we there yet? Though we’re not quite, we are on the right track & getting closer all the time. #COVID19 #KeepItUp
3/8 #COVID19 has exposed the fragility of circumstances for some populations – especially those living in long-term care homes or group housing + those experiencing homelessness or vulnerable indigenous communities. #ProtecttheVulnerable

3/4 It is normal to feel concerned about visiting a doctor’s office or clinic at this time, but please know that #healthcare providers have precautions in place to prevent the spread of infection, like screening and #PhysicalDistancing.
1/7 Heroes walk among us – some #StayHomeSaveLives, despite disrupted schedules, daily inconveniences, challenges and losses of all manner, shape and size. #TeamCanada #COVID19 #StayAtHome #StrongerTogether

1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Recovery & the question of what will be our new normal is on everybody’s mind right now. For now, we are still a ways off & as always, practicing #physicaldistancing is vitally important. #ProtecttheVulnerable
2/8 #Publichealth authorities are closely monitoring for continued and stable slowing of the #COVID19 epidemic in 🇨🇦, while carefully considering approaches to ease public health restrictions when & where this may be possible.
3/8 We cannot lose sight that this is a marathon and we are going to have to plan, pace ourselves and not take any sharp turns. Also, many unknowns remain and there is no 100% proven path to a new normal. #COVID19
1/10 People, thoughts and feelings are important right now, because each of us, alone & collectively, are what will determine when and how we emerge from this crisis. To end #COVID19 all Canadians are on the frontline. #TogetherApart #DoYourPart
2/10 Nothing less than the continued sacrifice of every Canadian, staying at home as much as possible and practicing #physicaldistancing, is what it will take to stop the spread of this virus. Its not over till its over. #COVID19 #PlankTheCurve
3/10 #StayHome is urgently needed to save lives, #ProtecttheVulnerable as well as to buy more time for research & development of diagnostics, vaccines, & treatments to protect 🇨🇦s health system & the health of all Canadians. #COVID19 #Innovation
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Despite early signs that the epidemic is slowing, nationally, we are just beginning the marathon. W\ COVID-19’s prolonged clinical course, hospitalisations, critical cases & deaths are continuing. #ProtectTheVulnerable e 
2/4 Of the now >950 #COVID19 deaths in 🇨🇦, a high proportion continue to be linked to long term care outbreaks. We must do all we can to support and #ProtecttheVulnerable. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/4 There will be bumps in the road. #COVID19 epidemic activity is not the same everywhere across the country. But right now our efforts must be unified and unrelenting. Best efforts for a best-case scenario #TeamCanada #PlanktheCurve #CrushTheCurve
