1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Wednesday statement on the importance of getting testing if you have symptoms/exposure history. See the full statement here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/6 Over six million Canadians have been tested for #COVID19 over the past several months, with over 300,000 people currently being tested each week across 🇨🇦. Thank you to all Canadians who made the decision to get tested.
3/6 Getting tested is one of the most important measures we can take if we have symptoms, or think we’ve been exposed to someone with #COVID19. Online COVID-19 self-assessment tools can help you decide whether & how to get tested. ca.thrive.health/covid19/en
4/6 Testing enables local #publichealth authorities to interrupt chains of transmission and prevent further spread of #COVID19 through case detection and contact tracing, and isolation and quarantine, respectively. #TestandTrace
5/6 I recognize there may be line-ups at some testing sites, and awaiting results can be stressful & disruptive to your family & work life. Thank you for your patience. Your actions are vital to controlling the spread of #COVID19.
6/6 We are all adjusting to new ways of resuming school, work, business….in our adapted way of life. As we do so, let’s continue to support & protect each other with, compassion and understanding. #COVIDCoping #COVIDlife
