1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: we’ve made great progress during these very challenging weeks and we are now almost two thirds the way down this curve, BUT we need to keep putting the breaks on more contagious #VariantsOfConcern. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 Over 429 B.1.1.7 variants, 28 B.1.351 variants and 1 P.1 variant reported by 8 provinces, with at least 3 of these provinces reporting evidence of community spread and #VariantsOfConcern linked to outbreaks in various settings. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/3 #CrushingCOVID means working from our strengths. Collective Canadian effort & #COVIDKnowHow got us this far and we have more and stronger tools, in the form of #COVIDvaccines. The path of #COVID19 may not be easy, but we ARE stronger! canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/4 During the months of restrictions, schools, workplaces, businesses and other public settings modified spaces and implemented protocols and policies to reduce the risk of #COVID19 spreading. #COVIDLife #COVIDLiving
2/4 As individual Canadians, we likewise modified our behaviours and became adept at practicing personal protective measures including #PhysicalDistancing, good #HandHygiene, #CoughEtiquette & #MaskOn where appropriate.
3/4 The challenge now is to stay the course, no matter how weary we may feel, because #PublicHealth efforts are not enough on their own; keeping #COVID19 at manageable levels in #Canada DEPENDS ON ALL OF US. #SlowBurn #AllinThisTogether
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: today #GOC provided an update on COVID-19 #epidemiology in Canada as well as an update to the modelling we are using to inform planning and approaches for ongoing epidemic control.

2/4 #COVID19 daily case counts are increasing at an accelerated rate. Though Monday’s daily case count included over 459 weekend cases, 1,307 cases were new on Monday, bringing the latest 7-day average to 1,058 cases
3/4 Though some increase in #COVID19 cases was expected with reopening, the accelerated rate of epidemic growth is concerning and will escalate unless #PublicHealth AND individual precautions are strengthened + we work together!
1/3 Living with #COVID19 is about achieving a balance that allows us to enjoy the spaces and services that have re-opened thanks to our hard work, while at the same time protecting our communities and loved ones. ↑ your #COVIDKnowHow : bit.ly/3kAkNYQ
2/3 As you consider activities/events, remember that just because you might know the people attending, every person outside your household/close-#ContactBubble significantly increases your risk of exposure/spreading #COVID19.
3/3 Be aware of the risks for exposure in your area and make informed decisions based on the latest advice, including following the recommendations set out by your provincial/territorial/local public health authorities. bit.ly/2FYOJ1t
1/3 The ongoing increase in #COVID19 daily case counts in #Canada indicates accelerated epidemic growth. Now is the time for each of us to redouble our efforts to slow the spread of the virus. Increase your #COVIDKnowHow canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 All Canadians need to #BePartoftheSolution: keep your number of contacts low and consistently follow proven effective measures to slow the spread: maintain #PhysicalDistancing, #handwashing and #MaskOn, as appropriate.
3/3 We’ve come too far and lost too much to give up now – let’s reconfirm our commitment to work #TogetherApart and redouble our efforts to knock #COVID19 daily case counts back down to the #SlowBurn. #BePartoftheSolution
1/4 I would like to thank provincial authorities, local school boards, and educators who have been working overtime to reconfigure schools in order to lower the risk of transmitting #COVID19 in these settings. #StrongerTogether
2/4 Although 🇨🇦 is striving to maintain a #SlowBurn, the average daily case count has been increasing recently. This is concerning. When #COVID19 cases occur, including in schools, it is a reflection of what is happening in the community.
3/4 The key to keeping #COVID19 at a manageable level is for each and every one of us to keep up effective #publichealth practices at home, at work and in the public spaces we frequent. #COVIDKnowHow
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/3 Remember, #COVID19 spread among any age group is a risk to everyone, increasing the risk of spread to people at high risk of severe outcomes due to COVID-19 and also the risk of accelerated epidemic growth across the population.
2/3 We each have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect the most vulnerable members of our society and to not give into #COVIDfatigue and risk losing the gains we have achieved over many weeks and months in Canada. #COVID19
3/3 This #longweekend let’s continue to do our very best to keep the #COVID19 infection rate low. Brush up your #COVIDKnowHow with information and resources that can reduce the risk of infection and spreading the virus. #BePartofTheSolution

1/4 While the #longweekend is a time for relaxation, it’s not the time to relax our #COVID19 #publichealth practices. #PhysicalDistancing #Handwashing #MaskOn
2/4 Keeping to your close #ContactBubble is safest, but when going to public spaces make sure you assess your personal risks and check that there are controls in place to reduce spread of the virus.
3/4 Remember that just because you may know the people attending an event outside of your household and close contacts bubble, it doesn’t mean that the #COVID19 risk is in any way reduced. #COVIDKnowHow
1/5 Over the summer Canadians have continued efforts #TogetherApart to slow the spread of the virus with #PhysicalDistancing, #handwashing, #MaskOn, all helping #SlowTheSpread. Read today’s remarks: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 As a result, nationally Canada’s #COVID19 infection rate has remained at a low and manageable level, allowing many public spaces to re-open. #TestandTrace #SlowBurn
3/5 For many, #LabourDay #LongWeekend marks the unofficial start of Fall in #Canada. Fall brings colder weather but also important holidays where we traditionally gather with our loved ones, so lets ↑ #COVIDKnowHow to keep #COVID19 ↓.
1/3 Ultimately, the success of a #COVID19 vaccine in 🇨🇦 will depend on individual Canadians rolling up their sleeves to get immunized. Widespread vaccine uptake is the best shot we have at resuming the activities we’ve had to give up. #BePartofTheSolution
2/3 Widespread vaccine uptake is also our best shot return to the simple things we cherish….things like holding our family and friends closely🤗, having community events, and living our lives without the fear of contracting #COVID19.
3/3 When it comes to public health, Canadians are part of the solution. YOUR #COVIDKnowHow helps keep #COVID19 under manageable control and when we have a safe and effective vaccine, we’ll all be needed on the #CommunityImmunity team!

1/6 As we have seen with #COVID19, prevention measures such as practicing #PhysicalDistancing, #Handwashing, and #MaskOn with a non-medical mask or face covering when in public can help to prevent spread of the virus.
#COVIDKnowHow

#COVIDKnowHow

2/6 But these measures alone cannot reduce the spread of #COVID19 to a point where Canadians can resume life as normal. To have the best shot at normalcy, what Canada, and the world, needs is a safe and effective vaccine. #VaccinesWork
3/6 The vaccine research and development process during usual times takes more than a decade before a safe and effective vaccine is approved for use in Canada. Canada, and the world, cannot wait 10 years for a #COVID19 vaccine...
1/3 Local #publichealth across 🇨🇦 are working hard to investigate cases & clusters of #COVID19, including #TestandTrace to interrupt transmission chains, keep the infection rate low, and maintain epidemic growth on a controlled #SlowBurn.
2/3 As we all look forward to getting back to the things we enjoy and re-engaging in activities that are important for our physical, social and economic wellbeing, we’ll all need to #BePartoftheSolution by keeping up with personal precautions...
3/3 and being mindful of controls, protocols & policies being implemented to reduce our risk of exposure and spreading the virus. Increase your #COVIDKnowHow with information and resources to keep you and those you care about safer: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: routine medical appts for essential preventative health services like vaccinations #VaccinesWork, cancer screening, dental care, and management of #ChronicDiseases are a MUST DO to limit #COVID19 impact.
2/5 With #COVID19 under manageable control and daily case counts ↓ in 🇨🇦, it’s a great time for you and your loved ones to catch up on any missed appointments and get ahead with prevention visits before the fall/winter.
3/5 Don’t let things get worse before they can be made better! Never delay health visits for acute illness or injuries, #MentalHealth, problematic substance use, vaccinations, #ChronicDiseases. Not sure? Start with a call. #TakeThatStep
1/3 Keeping #COVID19 under control and away from those at high risk of severe outcomes must remain a top priority for all of us. Increasing #COVIDKnowHow to reduce our risk of infection and spreading the virus starts with us!

2/3 There are things we can all do to protect ourselves and our family, friends and contacts who may be high risk for severe outcomes of #COVID19, including being prepared and finding safer ways to connect and #HelpOthers. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/3 Lets not forget #Caremongering this #ThrowbackThursday and everyday... this is us #Canada! from #Zoomers to #Boomers we got this #COVID19! #GenX #GenY #Millennials #GenZ
1/3 As we continue with reopening, including very importantly reopening of our schools, this won’t be 2019’s back to work and school, but rather 2020’s back to modified spaces, adapted routines, and #COVID19 risk mitigation protocols.
2/3 These measures will continue forward as an integral part of our cautious approach to reopening to keep the #COVID19 infection rate down. There will be uncertainties ahead but we have shown strength, adaptability and #COVIDKnowHow …
3/3 and #Canada’s children will continue to show their #resilience as they get back to in-school learning and socializing that is key to helping them achieve their best long-term outcomes. #Youth #YoungCanadians #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Wednesday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 Though #COVID19 continues to circulate and cases and outbreaks will still occur, we have improved our ability to manage spread going forward. We’ve built up capacity across 🇨🇦’s health, #PublicHealth, and laboratory systems.
3/4 Our economic & social spaces have been modified to reduce #COVID19 exposure risks as they have reopened and we have all learned the importance of key public health measures like #PhysicalDistancing ↔ 2m. apart...
1/4 As schools reopen across #Canada, I am confident that we have what it takes to adjust, adapt and stay the course. #BePartoftheSolution
2/4 We'll need to keep up with #PhysicalDistancing, #Handwashing, and wearing a non-medical mask, as appropriate, while also following local #PublicHealth guidance and adjusting to adapted environments to reduce the risk of spread.
3/4 Things will be different and there will be uncertainties, but by proceeding with caution we'll tackle these together to make sure our kids and our families can resume essential learning, social development and activities we all enjoy.

2/4 With reduced reporting over the weekend, Monday saw the usual jump in #COVID19 cases, with 785 new cases reported yesterday in 🇨🇦. However, the 7-day rolling average continues to range from 350 to 500 cases being reported daily.
3/4 It’s no secret that we’ll continue to have cases, given that #COVID19 is circulating in 🇨🇦 & the🌎, but we also know that we have laid the groundwork to tackle these cases as they come – if we can all keep working together. #DoYourPart

2/5 #COVID19 activity indicators show that spread is _presently_ under manageable control. But, this is not the time to be complacent as the virus is still present in our communities. #BePartoftheSolution #YourActionSavesLives
3/5 The average number of days between when a reported case became ill with #COVID19 and when they submitted a sample for laboratory analysis has increased slightly - from 2.8 days in June to 3.2 days from July 1st to 20th. #TestandTrace
1/3 Until we have safe and effective treatments and vaccines for #COVID19, we must keep ↑ #PhysicalDistancing, #Handwashing, #MaskOn etc. practices to keep the infection rate ↓ to avoid restrictive #publichealth measures. #HammerandDance
2/3 This requires action from each one of us, including being aware of the risks for exposure and making informed decisions based on the advice and recommendations of our local public health authorities.
