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 Modelling tells us that our collective commitment and actions will shape 🇨🇦’s epidemic curve over time. While #PublicHealth is ↑ capacity to #TestandTrace, individual Canadians remain our first line of defense to ↓ #COVID19 impact.

3/5 The scenarios that epidemic modelling predict _could_ happen depend on how quickly and completely #PublicHealth can detect and isolate cases and trace and quarantine contacts, and the number of close contacts we each have. nccid.ca/news/phac-mode…

4/5 When we each keep our # of close contacts low, it helps ensure local #PublicHealth can manage the workload of #TestandTrace quickly to interrupt #COVID19 chains of transmission before the spread gets out of hand. #SlowBurn

5/5 We all need to #BePartoftheSolution if we’re going to keep #Canada’s curve down. Understand #COVID19 risks, know the precautions to take, and make informed decisions to keep everyone safer. Increase your #COVID19KnowHow here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
