1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Thursday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…

2/5 This week marks 6 months since @WHO declared #COVID19 a public health emergency of international concern and 🇨🇦 announced its 1st case of the novel coronavirus. In this short time, the virus has spread to countries worldwide.

3/5 Although 🇨🇦 has managed to #FlattenTheCurve and bring #COVID19 under some semblance of control, we cannot relax our efforts. Countries that were very effective in controlling their epidemic early on have since seen a resurgence.

4/5 Worldwide over the past week, @WHO reported an average of >240,000 new cases of #COVID19, including >6,000 new deaths daily, with the cumulative case count now at over 16.5 million cases, including >656,000 deaths.

5/5 #COVID19 has not gone away and spread of the virus is not under control in many areas of world. Until the virus is controlled everywhere, life cannot go back to normal anywhere. #DoYourPart #SlowtheSpread
