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!
1/5 Here is a short check list of the top things we all need to be doing to improve our position on the #COVID19 defence and to get #Canada back on the safer #SlowBurn:
2/5 #StayHome and away from others if you develop any symptoms of #COVID19, even if mild. Consult your local #publichealth authority for information on testing in your area. Find out more about symptoms here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/5 Rethink your bubble. Limit your #ContactBubble to just the people who are in your existing household and/or your small, consistent and trusted in-person contacts. Smaller is safer. Quality over quantity. #COVID19
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
1/5 If you are thinking of hosting an event for people outside of your #contactbubble, ask yourself if you, someone in your household, or someone you are inviting may be at high risk of developing complications from #COVID19.

2/5 People at high risk include #olderadults, people of any age with compromised immune systems or chronic medical conditions & people living with obesity. Think twice about attending/hosting a gathering if you/others are at high risk.

3/5 The next best thing hosts can do to reduce risk is to go with safer options, like virtual events or outdoor events. With colder weather, gathering outdoors, while bundled up will reduce #COVID19 risk. Let’s get creative!
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: case numbers have continued on an upward trend and the acceleration in cases in several regions is concerning. We must act now to put the brakes on this acceleration. Read today’s remarks: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 Recent #COVID19 outbreaks have been linked to gatherings, such as private social events & celebrations, and indoor community events that require significant #testandtrace efforts by #publichealth to interrupt chains of transmission.
3/4 With important holidays and gatherings approaching this Fall, Canadians want to know how they can gather more safely and ensure that an event remains a happy memory --- days, weeks and years later. Don’t invite #COVID19!
1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 : Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Monday statement urging all Canadians to keep up our collective efforts to control the spread of #COVID19. Read the statement here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/6 #COVID19 is not gone. Be aware of the risks for exposure in your area and make informed decisions based on the latest advice, including recommendations of local #publichealth authorities in your area. #COVIDwise

3/6 We cannot let our guard down now. We have worked too hard and come too far. Continue good #publichealth practices to reduce your risk of getting infected and spreading the infection to others. #BePartoftheSolution
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 Just one person infected with #COVID19, even if only experiencing mild symptoms, can start a chain reaction of exposures & infections, spreading to many people in their homes, workplaces, communities and other settings.
2/3 It’s on all of us to keep #COVID19 epidemic growth in check! We need to keep our #ContactBubble small and keep up #publichealth practices: #PhysicalDistancing, #handwashing and #MaskOn where distancing is difficult.
3/3 It is safest to keep to our existing close #ContactBubble, so indoor gatherings with extended family and friends, may not be right for every Canadian or every family. Read #COVID19 risks and precautions in my updated backgrounder: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Wednesday statement discussing pregnancy, maternal health and newborn care. Read the statement here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/6 Canadians continue to experience the joy of welcoming new additions to their families. Newborns are vulnerable to a variety of infectious diseases and there are important measures to consider to keep them safe during #COVID19.
3/6 Friends and family will be excited to meet your bundle of joy, but it is important to ask visitors to postpone visiting if they’ve had any symptoms of #COVID19 in the last 14 days, or if they’ve had contact with a confirmed case.
1/3 #LabourDay is the unofficial start of fall for many. Thanks to the actions of Canadians this spring and summer, #COVID19 activity remains on a #SlowBurn. But fall brings colder weather as well as indoor events and activities.
2/3 When gathering with people beyond your #ContactBubble it’s important to keep up with #publichealth practices, #PhysicalDistancing ↔ 2m, #handwashing, & wearing a mask. BUT if you have symptoms, stay home!
3/3 Before you attend ask yourself if you, or someone in your #ContactBubble, is at high risk of developing complications from #COVID19; then think about if and how you will be able to maintain public health practices to stay safer.
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
