1/5 #COVID19 key concerns 🇨🇦: this may feel like a double marathon we didn’t sign up for, but we can draw strength knowing the ground we’ve covered so far to stay on track and work together to get where we need to go. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 As public health continues vaccination efforts & closely monitors local epidemiology for signs of peaking activity in the weeks ahead, we can all help by staying the course to get through this difficult time sooner. #VaccinesPlus➡️ canada.ca/en/public-heal… 
3/5 Currently, we still need millions more Canadians to increase their protection with #COVID19Vaccines, including almost 7 million eligible people who need a 1st or 2nd dose of their primary series.
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns 🇨🇦 : we’ve got the winter blues across the country, but this too shall pass! Let’s lighten the blues sooner with layers of protection for you and yours. #FullyVaccinated #BoosterDose #VaccinesPlus

2/4 Winterizing your #covidwise includes choosing a mask that is well-constructed and can be adjusted to fit your face snugly to filter potentially contaminated air in/out of your mask. đźš« #MaskGaps
3/4 Improving indoor ventilation also helps by reducing levels of infectious particles in the air, which is particularly important for times when we’re in closed spaces with others outside our immediate household. #AVOID3Cs #GoodVentilation

1/7 #COVID19 key concerns 🇨🇦 : COVID-19 cases have rapidly accelerated, with #Omicron now predominating and widespread across much of the country. The latest 7-day average of 40,696 cases/day is a 78% increase over last week.

2/7 Though very high activity levels that challenge testing capacity may underestimate true case numbers, other indicators remain useful to monitor trends in overall disease activity (e.g. test positivity) & severity (hospitalizations etc.)
3/7 Not surprisingly, as exponential growth of #Omicron continues, these trends are all rising; in the past most recent 7-days % lab test positivity increased by to 28%, while average daily hospital/ICU numbers increased by 82% and 20% respectively.
1/5 Layering #COVID19 protections is best! Evidence on aerosol spread of the #SARSCoV2 virus shows that expelled virus particles can spread over distances and linger in fine aerosols for periods of time, much like second-hand smoke. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 Likewise, those in close proximity to the infected person can inhale more aerosols. This is why opening a window can help reduce the risk and why wearing a well-fitted and well-constructed mask is so important. #GoodVentilation #MaskFit
3/ 5 Similar to how second-hand smoke can leave a room when a door or window is opened, improved ventilation can remove virus particles from the air.
1/2 #COVID19 key concerns 🇨🇦: today, I presented results of #PHAC’s updated #epidemiology & modelling analysis, which suggests that nationally the fourth wave could continue to decline over the coming weeks if transmission doesn’t increase➡️ canada.ca/content/dam/ph…
2/2 This latest #PHAC-@McMasterU forecast reaffirms the importance & beneficial impact of public health measures & individual precautions even at current levels of #COVID19Vaccines coverage, given predominance of the #DeltaVariant. #VaccinesPlus canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/3 Let’s keep going steady with #PublicHealth advice and do our best to look after ourselves and others by keeping up with individual precautions/layers of protection: #VaxToTheMax #WashMaskSpace #GoodVentilation➡️ canada.ca/en/public-heal…
