1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: we’ve made great progress during these very challenging weeks and we are now almost two thirds the way down this curve, BUT we need to keep putting the breaks on more contagious #VariantsOfConcern. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 Over 429 B.1.1.7 variants, 28 B.1.351 variants and 1 P.1 variant reported by 8 provinces, with at least 3 of these provinces reporting evidence of community spread and #VariantsOfConcern linked to outbreaks in various settings. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/3 #CrushingCOVID means working from our strengths. Collective Canadian effort & #COVIDKnowHow got us this far and we have more and stronger tools, in the form of #COVIDvaccines. The path of #COVID19 may not be easy, but we ARE stronger! canada.ca/en/public-heal…

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

1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: today #GOC provided an update on COVID-19 #epidemiology in Canada as well as an update to the modelling we are using to inform planning and approaches for ongoing epidemic control.
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 #COVID19 daily case counts are increasing at an accelerated rate. Though Monday’s daily case count included over 459 weekend cases, 1,307 cases were new on Monday, bringing the latest 7-day average to 1,058 cases
3/4 Though some increase in #COVID19 cases was expected with reopening, the accelerated rate of epidemic growth is concerning and will escalate unless #PublicHealth AND individual precautions are strengthened + we work together!

1/3 Living with #COVID19 is about achieving a balance that allows us to enjoy the spaces and services that have re-opened thanks to our hard work, while at the same time protecting our communities and loved ones. ↑ your #COVIDKnowHow : bit.ly/3kAkNYQ
2/3 As you consider activities/events, remember that just because you might know the people attending, every person outside your household/close-#ContactBubble significantly increases your risk of exposure/spreading #COVID19.
3/3 Be aware of the risks for exposure in your area and make informed decisions based on the latest advice, including following the recommendations set out by your provincial/territorial/local public health authorities. bit.ly/2FYOJ1t

1/4 I would like to thank provincial authorities, local school boards, and educators who have been working overtime to reconfigure schools in order to lower the risk of transmitting #COVID19 in these settings. #StrongerTogether
2/4 Although 🇨🇦 is striving to maintain a #SlowBurn, the average daily case count has been increasing recently. This is concerning. When #COVID19 cases occur, including in schools, it is a reflection of what is happening in the community.
3/4 The key to keeping #COVID19 at a manageable level is for each and every one of us to keep up effective #publichealth practices at home, at work and in the public spaces we frequent. #COVIDKnowHow

1/4 While the #longweekend is a time for relaxation, it’s not the time to relax our #COVID19 #publichealth practices. #PhysicalDistancing #Handwashing #MaskOn
2/4 Keeping to your close #ContactBubble is safest, but when going to public spaces make sure you assess your personal risks and check that there are controls in place to reduce spread of the virus.
3/4 Remember that just because you may know the people attending an event outside of your household and close contacts bubble, it doesn’t mean that the #COVID19 risk is in any way reduced. #COVIDKnowHow

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

1/6 As we have seen with #COVID19, prevention measures such as practicing #PhysicalDistancing, #Handwashing, and #MaskOn with a non-medical mask or face covering when in public can help to prevent spread of the virus.
#COVIDKnowHow
canada.ca/en/public-heal…

3/6 The vaccine research and development process during usual times takes more than a decade before a safe and effective vaccine is approved for use in Canada. Canada, and the world, cannot wait 10 years for a #COVID19 vaccine...

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.
