1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Thursday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 As #publichealth and Canadians continue with collective efforts to limit the spread of #COVID19, we continue to monitor daily case counts, # of hospitalisations and % people testing positive to inform, adjust and adapt our response.
3/5 We are closely monitoring for any increased incidence in #OlderAdults and/or possible increases in hospitalisation or critical care admissions that could indicate a shift in #COVID19 transmission patterns.
4/5 In recent weeks, younger age groups account for a larger proportion of #COVID19 cases compared to all other age groupings, with the highest incidence in 20-29 year old, though their rates appear to be declining since mid-July.
5/5 Because #COVID19 in any age group can build a reservoir for the virus, we need to consider where the virus might spread next and continue with efforts to protect individuals and settings at higher risk for severe outcomes.
