1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: another weekend is ahead & reopening continues, but the ever present worry is that if we move too fast, relax too much, #COVID19 will rebound. We’ve got to be mindful of the hotspots!

2/5 Nationally, more than 50% of 🇨🇦’s #COVID19 cases are now recovered and daily case counts continue to decline but there are still active cases in 9 provinces. Québec & Ontario continue to report most (~ 95%) new cases & deaths.

3/5 Hotspots in and around our most populous cities, #Toronto & #Montreal, continue to smoulder, as #COVID19 exploits inequalities, taking hold in communities who experience overcrowding, lower incomes & health inequalities.

4/5 No area is immune; a new #COVID19 case reported in New Brunswick just yesterday, after 2 weeks of zero confirmed case reports, reminds us we need to remain vigilant & keep up core #PublicHealth practices everywhere.

5/5 #TeamCanada scores HIGH for keeping hospitalization rates LOW but over 2,000 #COVID19 cases remain in hospitals across the country. By continuing to #DoYourPart, you are helping protect our health system & #Healthcareheroes.
