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

2/5 This summer, the virus that causes #COVID19 is active worldwide and looking for the next place to stage a big comeback, while making stops along the way wherever opportunities exist. #StoptheSpread

3/5 We’ve been taught some hard lessons. Summer doesn’t make the virus go away, and gatherings and absence of #COVID19 precautions present key opportunities for exposure and spreading or superspreading the virus.

4/5 Places that once had #COVID19 under control are not immune to resurgence, as seen in several countries. 🇨🇦doesn’t have to be one of those places. We can stop #COVID19 from finding opportunities to spread and surge. #WeAreCanadian

5/5 If we stick to activities in a small, consistent social bubble; practise #PhysicalDistancing; avoid higher-risk settings; & layer on precautions (#Handwashing, wearing a mask) we can keep the pressure on & squeeze the virus out of our summer plans.
