1/4 During the months of restrictions, schools, workplaces, businesses and other public settings modified spaces and implemented protocols and policies to reduce the risk of #COVID19 spreading. #COVIDLife #COVIDLiving
2/4 As individual Canadians, we likewise modified our behaviours and became adept at practicing personal protective measures including #PhysicalDistancing, good #HandHygiene, #CoughEtiquette & #MaskOn where appropriate.
3/4 The challenge now is to stay the course, no matter how weary we may feel, because #PublicHealth efforts are not enough on their own; keeping #COVID19 at manageable levels in #Canada DEPENDS ON ALL OF US. #SlowBurn #AllinThisTogether
1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement on how Canadians need to help #PublicHealth by improving our COVID-19 defence game. See my full statement: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 With 875 new #COVID19 cases reported across #Canada yesterday and more expected as weekend numbers come in from some provinces today, we are just now seeing the transmission that occurred up to two weeks ago.
3/3 Now is the time to improve our adherence to personal protective practices. #PublicHealth authorities can’t solve this without Canadians on the defence, we all need to work together to get back on the safer #SlowBurn. #BePartoftheSolution
1/3 The ongoing increase in #COVID19 daily case counts in #Canada indicates accelerated epidemic growth. Now is the time for each of us to redouble our efforts to slow the spread of the virus. Increase your #COVIDKnowHow canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 All Canadians need to #BePartoftheSolution: keep your number of contacts low and consistently follow proven effective measures to slow the spread: maintain #PhysicalDistancing, #handwashing and #MaskOn, as appropriate.
3/3 We’ve come too far and lost too much to give up now – let’s reconfirm our commitment to work #TogetherApart and redouble our efforts to knock #COVID19 daily case counts back down to the #SlowBurn. #BePartoftheSolution
1/4 Since the pandemic began, #publichealth officials like myself have talked a lot about what each one of us can do to protect ourselves, our families and our communities from #COVID19. #physicaldistancing #handwashing #MaskOn canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 Being tested when you are experiencing symptoms of #COVID19 is an act of kindness - it means you are choosing to not only protect yourself, but also protect those around you. #BePartoftheSolution #COVIDKindness
3/4 When a #COVID19 test comes back positive, that starts the process of local #publichealth notifying others who may have been exposed, so contacts can take steps to self-isolate and get tested if they develop symptoms. #TestandTrace
1/5 If you are thinking of hosting an event for people outside of your #contactbubble, ask yourself if you, someone in your household, or someone you are inviting may be at high risk of developing complications from #COVID19.

2/5 People at high risk include #olderadults, people of any age with compromised immune systems or chronic medical conditions & people living with obesity. Think twice about attending/hosting a gathering if you/others are at high risk.
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/5 The next best thing hosts can do to reduce risk is to go with safer options, like virtual events or outdoor events. With colder weather, gathering outdoors, while bundled up will reduce #COVID19 risk. Let’s get creative!
1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 : Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement urging all Canadians to keep up our collective efforts to control the spread of #COVID19. Read the statement here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/6 #COVID19 is not gone. Be aware of the risks for exposure in your area and make informed decisions based on the latest advice, including recommendations of local #publichealth authorities in your area. #COVIDwise

3/6 We cannot let our guard down now. We have worked too hard and come too far. Continue good #publichealth practices to reduce your risk of getting infected and spreading the infection to others. #BePartoftheSolution
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Saturday statement discussing the COVID-19 disease activity trends. Read the statement in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 We are closely monitoring disease trends to inform/adjust/adapt public health actions essential to interrupting new chains of #COVID19 transmission. But public health actions aren’t enough on their own. #BePartofTheSolution
3/5 Keeping the #COVID19 infection rate low to maintain the epidemic on a controlled, #SlowBurn requires the continued commitment of all Canadians. #StrongerTogether
1/3 Remember, #COVID19 spread among any age group is a risk to everyone, increasing the risk of spread to people at high risk of severe outcomes due to COVID-19 and also the risk of accelerated epidemic growth across the population.
2/3 We each have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect the most vulnerable members of our society and to not give into #COVIDfatigue and risk losing the gains we have achieved over many weeks and months in Canada. #COVID19
3/3 This #longweekend let’s continue to do our very best to keep the #COVID19 infection rate low. Brush up your #COVIDKnowHow with information and resources that can reduce the risk of infection and spreading the virus. #BePartofTheSolution

1/3 Ultimately, the success of a #COVID19 vaccine in 🇨🇦 will depend on individual Canadians rolling up their sleeves to get immunized. Widespread vaccine uptake is the best shot we have at resuming the activities we’ve had to give up. #BePartofTheSolution
2/3 Widespread vaccine uptake is also our best shot return to the simple things we cherish….things like holding our family and friends closely🤗, having community events, and living our lives without the fear of contracting #COVID19.
3/3 When it comes to public health, Canadians are part of the solution. YOUR #COVIDKnowHow helps keep #COVID19 under manageable control and when we have a safe and effective vaccine, we’ll all be needed on the #CommunityImmunity team!

1/3 #Canada’s #PublicHealth authorities continue to test for #COVID19 at a high rate, with an avg. ~48,000 people tested daily & 0.7% testing +ve last week, meaning >140 people tested per case detected, up from 125 tested/case prior.
2/3 Keeping 🇨🇦‘s surveillance sensitive by casting the net wide to find cases helps local #PublicHealth professionals detect/isolate cases & trace/quarantine contacts to interrupt spread and keep #COVID19 under control. #TestandTrace
3/3 #PublicHealth can’t do this alone. To keep #COVID19 on the #SlowBurn so we can all enjoy activities while protecting our health, social & economic well-being, each of us has to do our very best to keep the infection rate low. #BePartofTheSolution
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/3 Local #publichealth across 🇨🇦 are working hard to investigate cases & clusters of #COVID19, including #TestandTrace to interrupt transmission chains, keep the infection rate low, and maintain epidemic growth on a controlled #SlowBurn.
2/3 As we all look forward to getting back to the things we enjoy and re-engaging in activities that are important for our physical, social and economic wellbeing, we’ll all need to #BePartoftheSolution by keeping up with personal precautions...
3/3 and being mindful of controls, protocols & policies being implemented to reduce our risk of exposure and spreading the virus. Increase your #COVIDKnowHow with information and resources to keep you and those you care about safer: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: As Canadians continue with collective efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19, we are closely monitoring disease activity indicators in order to inform, adjust and adapt our response actions as needed.
2/4 Nationally, average daily case counts have remained reasonably stable in recent weeks as we keep a watchful eye on the trend of the epidemic and look out for warning signs of increasing severity and impact on high risk populations.
3/4 Regionally, we are seeing some increases in #COVID19 daily cases counts, esp. in provinces west of Ontario, reminding us that the virus can emerge anywhere and we can’t afford to let our guard down. #BePartofTheSolution
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 National #COVID19 case numbers remain stable with ~380 cases reported daily over the past 2 weeks but these can mask regional differences. Increases in cases west of Ontario serve as a reminder to not let down our guard.
3/4 20-39 year olds make up the highest % of cases over the past couple of weeks. Although younger people experience milder illness due to #COVID19, some can get severely ill and anyone can spread to others at ↑ risk of severe outcomes.
1/4 As schools reopen across #Canada, I am confident that we have what it takes to adjust, adapt and stay the course. #BePartoftheSolution
2/4 We'll need to keep up with #PhysicalDistancing, #Handwashing, and wearing a non-medical mask, as appropriate, while also following local #PublicHealth guidance and adjusting to adapted environments to reduce the risk of spread.
3/4 Things will be different and there will be uncertainties, but by proceeding with caution we'll tackle these together to make sure our kids and our families can resume essential learning, social development and activities we all enjoy.
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 : Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 Modelling tells us that our collective commitment and actions will shape 🇨🇦’s epidemic curve over time. While #PublicHealth is ↑ capacity to #TestandTrace, individual Canadians remain our first line of defense to ↓ #COVID19 impact.
3/5 The scenarios that epidemic modelling predict _could_ happen depend on how quickly and completely #PublicHealth can detect and isolate cases and trace and quarantine contacts, and the number of close contacts we each have. nccid.ca/news/phac-mode…
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 : Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Saturday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 As we continue to lift restrictive #publichealth measures to minimize other health, social and economic consequences, we expect to see some resurgence in #COVID19 cases, similar to what we have observed in recent weeks.
3/5 Canada has had resurgences with reopening, incl. areas with previously very low transmission. With #COVID19 actively circulating in 🇨🇦 and 🌎, new cases or outbreaks can spark anywhere, anytime. The key is to #SlowTheSpread #Slowburn

1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: today #GOC updated on COVID-19 national epidemiology and modelling, which we are using to inform planning and approaches for ongoing control of COVID-19 in Canada. canada.ca/content/dam/ph…
2/5 Thanks to collective efforts of Canadians + #publichealth #TestandTrace, national #COVID19 surveillance data show an overall decline in cases & severity indicators (hospitalisations, critical care, deaths), since the peak in April. #YourActionSavesLives
3/5 As we continue to lift restrictive public health measures to minimize unintended health, social and economic consequences, we expect to see some resurgence in cases, similar to the increase in daily counts seen in July. #HammerandDance

1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Thursday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 #COVID19 activity indicators show that spread is _presently_ under manageable control. But, this is not the time to be complacent as the virus is still present in our communities. #BePartoftheSolution #YourActionSavesLives
3/5 The average number of days between when a reported case became ill with #COVID19 and when they submitted a sample for laboratory analysis has increased slightly - from 2.8 days in June to 3.2 days from July 1st to 20th. #TestandTrace
1/4 In #Canada, young adults < 40 years of age have accounted for over 50% of #COVID19 cases over the past two weeks. Since early July, COVID-19 incidence has been highest among those aged 20- 29 years. #GenZ #Zoomer #GenY #Millennial
2/4 Although severe illness is less common in younger people, no age group is immune to #COVID19 severe outcomes. And spread in any age group builds a reservoir for the virus that threatens our ability to maintain epidemic control.
3/4 It’s important to keep the #COVID19 infection rate low across all age groups, to prevent sparking an outbreak or setting off a chain of transmission that could enter a population or setting at high-risk for severe outcomes.

1/3 I remain cautiously optimistic and ever hopeful that #Canada and the world will have safe and effective #COVID19 vaccine(s) in record time. #VaccinesWork #BePartofTheSolution
2/3 As preparation is key to success, we are actively preparing and laying the groundwork as and where we can. #VaccinesWork #BePartofTheSolution
1/3 Until we have safe and effective treatments and vaccines for #COVID19, we must keep ↑ #PhysicalDistancing, #Handwashing, #MaskOn etc. practices to keep the infection rate ↓ to avoid restrictive #publichealth measures. #HammerandDance
2/3 This requires action from each one of us, including being aware of the risks for exposure and making informed decisions based on the advice and recommendations of our local public health authorities.

2/5 As we learn to live with #COVID19, we’re hoping for the development of a successful vaccine to reduce the burden of illness and contribute to long-term disease control. #VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives
3/5 This is no small feat with many steps and partners needed to rapidly produce and deliver a safe and effective vaccine. We are still a way off from having a safe and effective vaccine for widespread control of #COVID19.
