1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: today #GOC updated on COVID-19 national epidemiology and modelling, which we are using to inform planning and approaches for ongoing control of COVID-19 in Canada. canada.ca/content/dam/ph…

2/5 Thanks to collective efforts of Canadians + #publichealth #TestandTrace, national #COVID19 surveillance data show an overall decline in cases & severity indicators (hospitalisations, critical care, deaths), since the peak in April. #YourActionSavesLives

3/5 As we continue to lift restrictive public health measures to minimize unintended health, social and economic consequences, we expect to see some resurgence in cases, similar to the increase in daily counts seen in July. #HammerandDance

4/5 The key is to keep the infection rate low to limit spread of the virus and #ProtectTheVulnerable until we have safe and effective treatments and/or vaccines for widespread, lasting control of the #COVID19 pandemic. #BePartoftheSolution

5/5 Continuing to build up health care, #publichealth, & laboratory capacity, while urging Canadians to keep up with public health practices will give us the best chance of preventing a large resurgence. #BePartoftheSolution #COVIDKnowHow
