1/4 #COVID19 key concerns 🇨🇦 : not unexpectedly, ⬆️ in-person activities following easing of public health measures, together with spread of the more transmissible BA.2 variant and some waning of immunity, may be contributing to ⬆️ transmission. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 Average daily cases have increased by 28% vs. last week, indicating resurgence is underway nationally (Mar 25-31, 2022); also 7-day lab test positivity (Mar 23-29) ⬆️ to 16% and wastewater signals are ⬆️ in many localities.
3/4 Although overall high vaccination rates are expected to lessen the impact on hospitals, severe illness trends have begun to increase in many jurisdictions (range 3%-27% weekly ⬆️ in daily number of patients with #COVID19 in hospitals).
4/4 With more opportunities for in-person activities, keeping up with #VaccinesPlus (up-to-date #COVID19Vaccines + masks/layers) continues to be very important for keeping infection rates down, that in-turn keeps hospitalisations down.
