Twitter fam - I don’t often do this, but I want to speak to something that’s been blowing up my radar lately. Over the span of mere hours, I’ve either been involved in or witnessed three instances of friends discouraging friends re exercising caution. #CovidIsNotOver
A friend invited me to participate in a social activity, and when I expressed my regrets they flippantly responded that covid was no longer a reason to not get together and that I “didn’t get the memo”. #TakeCare
While waiting for the subway, I overheard this convo -
Persons 1&2 (unmasked): Why are you wearing a mask?
Person 3 (masked): *short explanation*
Persons 1&2: (somewhat derisively) Oh my god, we never wear masks on transit anymore!
Person 3: *removes mask* #WearAMask

1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Sunday statement discussing COVID-19 outbreak settings and things we can do to reduce spread. Read the statement here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 Canadians have become adept at public health practices to prevent #COVID19 spread, i.e. #PhysicalDistancing keeping contacts ↓ by keeping to our #ContactBubble, #handwashing, and using good #CoughEtiquette incl. #MaskOn.
3/3 Our challenge now is to guard against #COVIDfatigue that can lead us to relax personal precautions. As we shift more of our activities indoors, we need to increase our awareness of COVID-19 risk factors in reopened settings.

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

1/6 The global trend of the pandemic is a daily reminder that #COVID19 is not going away any time soon. #Canada’s collective challenge is to persevere against this ongoing threat to our health and society. #COVIDFatigue #COVIDCoping
2/6 Canadians have made many sacrifices. I’m thankful to the great majority who continue to follow #publichealth practices, incl. wearing a non-medical mask/facial covering in indoor public spaces & when #PhysicalDistancing is difficult.
3/6 Dealing with the adaptations and uncertainties of an emerging disease event on this scale has been difficult, to say the least, but the stakes are high and we must take an approach informed by the best available #science and evidence.
1/6 Layers of #publichealth precautions and #PhysicalDistancing can leave us all feeling a bit of #COVIDfatigue. For many, there are emotional and psychological implications to staying physically apart from others. #COVID19 #COVIDCoping
2/6 These emotional and psychological impacts can lead to feelings of loneliness and social isolation. There is support and help; #TakeThatStep for #COVIDCoping and remember, you can practice #PhysicalDistancing and still be social.
3/6 I urge everyone to continue reaching out by various means, including virtually and especially to support those living alone or away from family members or loved ones. #HelpOthers #OlderAdults
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 My weekend reflection was on challenges we are facing in learning to live with #COVID19. To keep ourselves, our families and our communities safer, we need to approach to everyday living by making informed choices. #COVIDfatigue
3/4 This #COVIDSummer larger gatherings and interacting with more people ↑↑ risk for exposure/spread of the virus. #YourActionsSavesLives! Keep to activities with members of our household or a small, consistent social bubble.
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Saturday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 The recent uptick in #COVID19 cases across 🇨🇦 is cause for concern. After months of staying home, we may be experiencing #COVIDfatigue, leading us to backslide on some important personal public health practices, like #PhysicalDistancing.
3/5 Our initial efforts worked to #FlattenTheCurve. But, if we let our guard down or fail to understand the risks, we could compromise the gains we’ve made. Let’s work together, know the risks and take precautions to keep #COVID19 ↓
1/4 In this all-Canadian #COVID19 #TugOfWar, the virus is attempting to pull us back, but we can’t let it win, we can’t lose our ground. #DoYourPart - Don’t be the one that let go of the rope on #TeamCanada.
2/4 To keep #COVID19 ↓ we need all Canadians working together with #publichealth, especially young adults aged 20-39 years who account for the HIGHEST INCIDENCE RATES ACROSS ALL AGES during the past 2 weeks.
3/4 Young adults MUST get in the game; of cases reported to #PHAC (Jul 15-21), incidence rates in 20-29 year olds were 14.4 (males) and 13.8 (females) cases/100K population, followed by 9.4 and 7.0 cases/100K in 30-39 year olds.
