1/7 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 right now:

2/7 #COVID19 cases continue to ↑ in 🇨🇦. Of the new cases, those that are linked to community spread now outnumber cases linked to travel or close contact with a traveller.

#SocialDistancing #FlattentheCurve #PlanktheCurve

3/7 Some community cases can be traced back to a known exposure or setting but, for others, the source of exposure is unknown - the latter are the most problematic #COVID19

4/7 #COVID19 cases with no known source of exposure signify silent spread/hidden chains of transmission and tell us we need #SocialDistancing = #PhysicalDistancing to #SlowTheSpread #FlattentheCurve

5/7 To ↓ travel-related cases, travellers coming into 🇨🇦 MUST self-isolate at home for 14-days, even if no symptoms. As long as no symptoms, it’s okay to go outside for walk but keep 2 metres away from others.

6/7 To ↓ community transmission & protect older adults + medically vulnerable Canadians, we must all create a 2 metre zone of protection around ourselves & around them through #SocialDistancing =#PhysicalDistancing #ProtectTheVulnerable

7/7 To #FlattentheCurve it won’t be easy, and it may take a while – surely longer than we’d like. But the costs of not doing this have never been higher. Canadians are used to doing hard things. Let’s not tire or give up too soon. #COVID19 #ProudtobeCanadian
