1/7 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: ongoing community spread, cases/outbreaks linked to high-risk settings and deep concern and sadness at increasing numbers of deaths reported.
#StayHomeSaveLives
#ProtecttheVulnerable
2/7 The majority of #COVID19 deaths in Canada have been among those aged 80 years or older. Keeping seniors safe is a critical part of what 🇨🇦 needs to do. #ProtecttheVulnerable
#care
#olderadults
3/7 Each day we are adding to our knowledge of #COVID19, keeping pace with the rapid growth of new scientific evidence as it emerges. This has been and continues to be critical to our decision-making. #Innovation
#PlanktheCurve
4/7 There are times when #PublicHealth must act with speed over perfection. In other cases, we must wait for the science as we continue with all the protections that have been proven time and again to work.

5/7 Proven #publichealth measures that are key for 🇨🇦 to #PlanktheCurve:
➡️#PhysicalDistancing (2 metres away from others); no visitors, no playdates
➡️#WashYourHands well & frequently
➡️Disinfect surfaces & high touch objects
6/7 Kids across 🇨🇦 are #physicaldistancing by giving up team sports & play dates, and not going to school to help #plankthecurve. They are doing their part to help slow the spread of #COVID19. This is GREAT & we can all do #TogetherApart!
#StayHomeCanada
7/7 #COVID19 has reminded us of both our vulnerability and our interconnectedness. 🇨🇦, we are stronger together. Let’s #PlanktheCurve.

Prov + nat’l public health labs across 🇨🇦 continue to test at a high rate, with #COVID19 tests now completed for over 273,000 people in Canada. Around 4% of these people have been confirmed as positive and 95% confirmed as negative, #TestandTrace
It is important to test the right people, at the right time, in the right place. 🇨🇦 has taken a strategic approach to testing, with provincial and territorial testing approaches that consider & adapt to the evolving epidemiology. #COVID19
🇨🇦’s strategy maintains a priority on testing severe hospitalised cases, healthcare workers, vulnerable populations & other individuals who may directly or indirectly spread #COVID19 to high-risk people/communities/facilities. #TestandTrace

1/7 There is a lot of discussion on use of face masks. It can help to break the discussion into two main considerations regarding the TYPE of mask & the conditions for safe USE of masks in different circumstances/settings. #COVID19
2/7 MEDICAL MASKS for #healthcare workers in patient care settings is PRIORITY #1 – we MUST conserve these masks for use by & ONLY by #healthcare workers or others providing direct care to #COVID19 patients.
3/7 NON-MEDICAL MASKS (e.g. homemade face masks) may stop you from touching your nose and mouth. A non-medical mask could help maintain #coughetiquette by covering your cough if you are ill or have early symptoms of #COVID19. BUT BEWARE:
