1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: across the country, the #COVID19 epidemic is continuing to slow down, with daily case counts decreasing even in Canada’s most affected provinces, Ontario and Quebec.

2/6 The trouble spots, where #COVID19 transmission is continuing, include a number of outbreaks but more concerning still are areas with community spread of the virus.

3/6 Although #COVID19 outbreaks are problematic, they can be easier to manage with contact tracing and targeted #publichealth control measures, especially if tied to a single setting. #TestandTrace

4/6 #COVID19 community transmission can be harder to manage, depending on how widespread virus activity is. This is why hotspots have been a persistent challenge, contributing to fluctuations in the national growth rate.

5/6 Provinces have been mobilising more testing to trace and control any lingering chains of transmission in these most affected areas. #COVID19 #TestandTrace

6/6 Taken together, outbreaks & hotspots remind that us we’ve got to continue our path down the #COVID19 curve with caution, maintaining #PhysicalDistancing & #GoodHygiene practices everywhere to avoid new flare ups.
