1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: As we #PlankTheCurve, we’re still seeing worrisome transmission events. In addition to vulnerabilities in long-term care homes, we’re tackling spread in certain work settings & congregate housing.

2/5 #Nunavut reported a 1st case of #COVID19 & cases are ↑ in First Nations communities in several provinces. We must #ProtectTheVulnerable & ramp up #TestandTrace to find where chains of transmission are occurring.

3/5 Having learned hard lessons & suffered the heartache of #COVID19 in long-term care homes, we now face introductions/spread in certain work & congregate housing settings. We must act fast to prevent further tragedy. #CrushtheCurve

4/5 While we are eager to get out of our houses & move forward with social & economic reopening, these bumps in the road are a warning that we need to be cautious as we make our way down the #COVID19 epidemic curve. #PhysicalDistancing #Handwashing

5/5 It would be much easier if reopening were a well trodden path, w\ many having gone before us – but, as new explorers, we must be wise, curb our enthusiasm & tighten the safety ropes for the way down. #COVID19 #Science #Epidemiology #PublicHealth
