2/3 Living with #COVID19 means striking a balance between resuming important social and economic activities while keeping the rate of spread low. Nevertheless, we expect and will need to manage cases and clusters as we reopen.

3/3 Our #PublicHealth objective remains to minimize severe illness, overall deaths and negative societal impacts of #COVID19. #Everybody has a role to avoid high-risk exposures and take precautions to prevent spread. #ProtecttheVulnerable

1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, I am taking a moment to reflect on the updated numbers. Although we read and post these numbers online everyday, we can’t forget that each case is a person, with family, friends & community.

2/8 All have confronted illness & uncertainty; some have endured painful separation during severe illness & hospitalisation and too many have suffered the unspeakable pain of a loved one lost to #COVID19. #COVIDloss #COVIDCoping

3/8 As I take a step back to reflect on the human stories behind the numbers today, I want acknowledge the lives lost and offer my deepest sympathy to those who continue to grieve their loss the deepest. #COVIDloss #ProtecttheVulnerable

1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: ongoing community spread, cases/outbreaks linked to high-risk settings. And the big worry – that the continued rise in cases and deaths has not been enough to convince some to #StayHomeSaveLives

2/4 Community spread is still occurring in many parts of 🇨🇦. Even if you are not hearing of cases in your community it doesn’t mean there is no risk of exposure. #COVID19 #StayHomeCanada

3/4 The safest bet for #everybody is to act like there is #COVID19 community spread in your area. Stay inside your protective bubble, keeping a 2-metre #PhysicalDistance from others. #StayHomeSaveLives

1/5 #COVID19 cases continue to ↑ across 🇨🇦, over 6,100 cases. At any one time, there are many others under investigation, awaiting laboratory results, or not yet tested. #Everybody is at risk.

#PhysicalDistancing

2/5 We are keeping a close eye on #COVID19 severity in 🇨🇦. Daily (real-time/public) data give us early insight into rates of severe illness (hospitalisation, critical care & deaths) across all or most cases reported to date. #StayHomeSavesLives

3/5 The latest real-time data is for ~4,700 #COVID19 cases; of these about 6-7% of cases have developed serious illness requiring hospitalisation, 3% of cases have become critically ill & 1% have been fatal. #StayHomeSavesLives

1/6 We now have a snapshot of the severity of #COVID19 in 🇨🇦, where 6.1% of all cases require hospitalization, 2.6% of all cases are critically ill needing ICU care and 1% of cases have been fatal. #ProtectTheVulnerable #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve

2/6 🇨🇦’s 1% case fatality rate means our healthcare system is not currently overwhelmed. But we can further reduce fatalities by preventing #COVID19 in vulnerable populations like residents in long-term care. #ProtectTheVulnerable

3/6 The seriousness of #COVID19 cannot be overstated. Older adults and those with medical conditions are at highest risk BUT younger people are not immune. #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve #StayHomeSavesLives

#COVID19 #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve

3/4 To protect vulnerable populations & prevent even greater acceleration of spread in high-risk settings: continue strict #publichealth & infection control measures.
#COVID19 #ProtectTheVulnerable #PlanktheCurve

1/6 In the coming days and weeks, our biggest challenge will be to maintain our resolve in #SocialDistancing, while we wait to see the signs that our efforts are having an effect. #SlowTheSpread #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #TeamCanada

2/6 Prevention is hard work, it takes time to #PlanktheCurve and we can’t count cases we’ve prevented but we know it must done. #COVID19 #TeamCanada #SocialDistancing #Strongertogether

3/6 These are challenging times. We are still early in this difficult effort. Knowing the devastating effect of this pandemic in other countries, we know we must see this through. #SlowTheSpread #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #TeamCanada

1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 right now:

2/3 Last week’s signals of concern: steep ↑ in cases, cases in health care workers & in high-risk people (long-term care, vulnerable communities) w\ tragically several deaths. #COVID19 #ProtectTheVulnerable #PlanktheCurve

3/3 To prevent #COVID19 getting into vulnerable settings & communities we need constant vigilance on public health prevention measures + #everybody to strictly #SocialDistancing #ProtectTheVulnerable #SlowTheSpread #PlanktheCurve

1/4 Thanks go out to all Canadians who are listening and engaged in #SocialDistancing, changing behaviours & routines, and disrupting plans to take on our national challenge to #SlowTheSpread. #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #TeamCanada

2/4 #SocialDistancing = keeping 2-metres between you & others: when standing in line at the grocery store, saying hi to a friend while out on a walk, or engaging with work colleagues if you’re required to be at office or job site #COVID19

3/4 🇨🇦 More Space Please, We’re Canadian!

#SocialDistancing = Social (See/Hear - No touch) + Distance (2 metres). Separate physically from others but keep human interactions! #COVID19 #CareMongering #StrongerTogether

1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 right now:

2/3 We continue to be concerned about the virus getting into high-risk settings like long-term care facilities & hospitals or vulnerable communities, where risk of rapid spread & severe outcomes are greatest. #COVID19 #ProtectTheVulnerable #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve

3/3 To prevent #COVID19 introduction into vulnerable settings and communities we need constant vigilance of public health prevention measures + #everybody to strictly adhere to #SocialDistancing #ProtectTheVulnerable #SlowTheSpread #PlanktheCurve

A key reason we need to delay and #PlanktheCurve is to buy time for research and innovation to occur.

#COVID19 #Innovation #FlattentheCurve #TeamCanada #ProudtobeCanadian #StrongerTogether

We urgently need diagnostics, critical heath supplies, treatments and vaccines if we are to have the best chance of saving lives and ultimately bringing this pandemic to an end.

#COVID19 #Innovation #TeamCanada #ProudtobeCanadian #StrongerTogether

It is too soon to know what will happen with #COVID19 in the coming months, but mobilizing our domestic production capacity and integrating ingenuity as a part of our pandemic response will serve us well, now and into the future.
