1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: today #GOC updated on COVID-19 national epidemiology and modelling, which we are using to inform planning and approaches for ongoing control of COVID-19 in Canada. canada.ca/content/dam/ph…
2/5 Thanks to collective efforts of Canadians + #publichealth #TestandTrace, national #COVID19 surveillance data show an overall decline in cases & severity indicators (hospitalisations, critical care, deaths), since the peak in April. #YourActionSavesLives
3/5 As we continue to lift restrictive public health measures to minimize unintended health, social and economic consequences, we expect to see some resurgence in cases, similar to the increase in daily counts seen in July. #HammerandDance
1/4 #PHAC guidance for schools K-12, developed with public health experts and stakeholders aims to support school administrators and local #publichealth in safe resumption of in-school educational programming during #COVID19.
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/4 This guidance document should be used alongside guidance from provincial and territorial health authorities, ministries of education and Indigenous community governance structures.
3/4 School reopening plans for your area take into account the local context and epidemiology of #COVID19. #Publichealth and educational authorities will closely monitor the situation and adapt public health measures as needed.
1/3 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦 : Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Sunday statement you can read in full here:
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 Living with #COVID19 means striking a balance between resuming important social and economic activities while keeping the rate of spread low. Nevertheless, we expect and will need to manage cases and clusters as we reopen.
3/3 Our #PublicHealth objective remains to minimize severe illness, overall deaths and negative societal impacts of #COVID19. #Everybody has a role to avoid high-risk exposures and take precautions to prevent spread. #ProtecttheVulnerable
1/3 Younger age groups make up a larger % of recent #COVID19 cases in 🇨🇦. Younger age groups may be going out more, which ↑ likelihood of coming into contact with the virus. No-one is immune to serious illness & anyone can spread infection.
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/3 #PublicHealth measures have helped to drive national cases counts ↓ across all age groups, with the steepest declines observed among the oldest age groups at higher risk of severe outcomes. #ProtecttheVulnerable #KeepItUp!
3/3 A top priority for Canadians of all ages must be to keep #COVID19 away from older adults and other high-risk populations. We can’t prevent every death but WE MUST PREVENT EVERY DEATH WE CAN. #ProtecttheVulnerable
1/8 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, I am taking a moment to reflect on the updated numbers. Although we read and post these numbers online everyday, we can’t forget that each case is a person, with family, friends & community.
2/8 All have confronted illness & uncertainty; some have endured painful separation during severe illness & hospitalisation and too many have suffered the unspeakable pain of a loved one lost to #COVID19. #COVIDloss #COVIDCoping
3/8 As I take a step back to reflect on the human stories behind the numbers today, I want acknowledge the lives lost and offer my deepest sympathy to those who continue to grieve their loss the deepest. #COVIDloss #ProtecttheVulnerable
1/6 Although the majority of #COVID19 cases reported in Canada are adults, no age group is immune and cases have been reported in all age groups, including among children and youth.
2/6 PHAC recently published an article in the Canada Communicable Disease Report, providing a short description of #COVID19 cases reported among children and youth (<20 years of age) in Canada up to April 27th. canada.ca/en/public-heal…
3/6 Canadian data to date show that children & youth are more likely to experience mild illness or show no symptoms at all from #COVID19; 11% of lab-confirmed cases in children & youth were asymptomatic compared to 2-4% of adult cases.
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Sunday statement you can read in full here: bit.ly/2Ujy5OA
2/4 We are now updating #COVID19 in 🇨🇦 numbers once a day, in the evening on Canada.ca/coronavirus. As of last evening (end of day Saturday, June 6), there are now 95,057 cases including 7,773 deaths & 53,614 or 56% recovered cases.
3/4 This #Sunday, remember as we continue to live with #COVID19, we need to keep up with our prevention efforts: #WashYourHands #PhysicalDistancing #CoughEtiquette #StayHomeIfSick
1/7 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: On June 4th, #GOC released an update on the descriptive #epidemiology & modelling of #COVID19. The data show that the epidemic curve has been flattened across the country. canada.ca/content/dam/ph…
2/7 However, the pattern, extent & drivers of #COVID19 have varied greatly across 🇨🇦, ranging from zero cases in Nunavut & no community spread in PEI/other territories to community spread with varying degrees of control in other provinces.
3/7 Quebec & Ontario have dominated #COVID19 cases, accounting for over 86% reported cases overall & over 90% in last 2 weeks.
1/6 Although people of any age can develop #COVID19, some people are at higher risk for hospitalization and death including #OlderAdults and people with chronic medical or immune compromising health conditions.
2/6 In particular, seniors living in long-term care homes have borne the disproportionate impacts & severe outcomes of #COVID19. Prevention & control of COVID-19 in this population is crucial for minimizing morbidity & mortality. #ProtecttheVulnerable
3/6 But, we cannot ignore the direct and indirect impacts that #COVID19 has had on young people. While the number of cases among children and youth has remained low, young people have experienced major disruptions in their lives…
1/4 As hard as the last months have been on all of us, #COVID19 has brought additional challenges for some people more than others, including people with disabilities. #HelpOthers #StrongerTogether #AccessAbility
2/4 For some people with disabilities, older age or underlying medical conditions put them at greater risk of serious complications related to #COVID19. #AccessAbility #ProtecttheVulnerable #HelpOthers
3/4 Challenges that people with disabilities face when accessing information, social services, health care & wellness supports, have been made even more difficult due to reduced service availability during #COVID19. #AccessAbility
1/5 @danjlevy said it best: “Imagine wearing a mask not as an infringement on your freedom, but rather the simplest, easiest act of kindness that you can do in a day...” #HelpOthers #COVID19 #KindnessMatters
2/5 Key point - while you may not personally feel at risk from #COVID19, the reality is that if you are infected you could be responsible for starting a new chain of transmission causing life threatening illness for others. #ProtecttheVulnerable
3/5 This is even more important because some people may not be able to wear a face covering safely, including people who may be at risk of severe outcomes from #COVID19. #ProtecttheVulnerable #HelpOthers #DontJudge
1/4 This #ParamedicServicesWeek, we recognize the breadth & depth of #paramedics’ expertise from dispatch to first response to hospital, as well as their important role on the frontlines of the healthcare system during #COVID19
2/4 Whether #COVID19, the #opioids crisis or everyday emergencies, #Paramedics are instrumental in providing expert care & human connection, while also forging partnerships that promote patient care & improve health in our communities.
3/4 @RenCtyParamedic spearheaded a joint effort of partners across the health system. Through a virtual triage assessment centre & house calls they are preserving healthcare system capacity & ensuring people receive the care they need.
1/4 Get outside on SUNdays by going OUT SMART: keep UP with tried & true measures that we know can keep #COVID19 spread DOWN: #PhysicalDistancing #Handwashing #CleanYourHands #CoughEtiquette #StayHomeIfSick
2/4 BUT, going OUT SMART does NOT include going out when you are sick. If you are experiencing even mild symptoms of #COVID19 the RIGHT THING TO DO is #StayHomeIfSick & stay away from others to #StoptheSpread. #DoYourPart #ProtecttheVulnerable
3/4 In areas where #COVID19 activity may still be occurring, wearing a non-medical mask or face covering when you can’t keep a 2-metre physical distance can provide an additional layer of protection to help prevent spread. bit.ly/2XpkOoj
1/5 Getting outside is important for our physical & #MentalHealth during #COVID19. Go OUT SMART by #PhysicalDistancing #Handwashing #CleanYourHands #CoughEtiquette #StayHomeIfSick #COVIDCoping
2/5 Going OUT SMART also means KNOWING WHEN TO STAY IN!! Going out is NOT okay when you are sick, even if you are experiencing only mild symptoms of #COVID19. #StayHomeIfSick is a MUST DO. #ProtecttheVulnerable #StayHomeSavesLives.
3/5 As #COVID19 ↓ and reopening ↑, keeping 2-metre #PhysicalDistancing is a must, OUTSIDE spaces ARE BETTER than inside, SMALL BUBBLES of core contacts ARE BETTER than big, #Handwashing & #CoughEtiquette are needed always & everywhere!
1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: In lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/5 #COVID19 & #publichealth measures to #SlowtheSpread have brought significant challenges to Canadians. This Victoria Day #LongWeekend, many are venturing out to enjoy the warmer weather & amenities that are now opening up.
3/5 Careful reopening is thanks to the great progress Canadians have made to #PlanktheCurve. As we continue to descend the tricky path down the curve w\ #COVID19 still circulating in areas of 🇨🇦, keep on planking it with #goodhygiene. #OutSmartEpidemics

1/4 Going OUT SMART #COVID19 means #PhysicalDistancing 2 metres ↔ from others wherever & whenever possible, keeping up #GoodHygiene, #WashYourHands often, avoiding high touch surfaces/objects, & always using #CoughEtiquette. #OutSmartEpidemics
2/4 Depending on #COVID19 #epidemiology in your area, local #publichealth may recommend using a non-medical mask or facial covering as an added layer of protection for when #PhysicalDistancing ↔ 2 m. from others is not possible, e.g. on public transit.
3/4 Going OUT SMART also means KNOWING WHEN TO STAY IN!! Going out is NOT okay when you are sick, even if you are experiencing only mild symptoms consistent with #COVID19. #StayHomeIfSick is a MUST DO. #StayHomeSavesLives #ProtecttheVulnerable
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: With slowed epidemic growth & the Victoria Day long weekend upon us, getting outside is top of mind. At the same time, many Canadians are concerned about how we can go out safely. This is a reasonable concern.
2/4 As we continue down the curve, there are lessons to be learnt from other countries that are ahead of us on this path. Move too soon, relax too much & COVID-19 will come back. #COVID19 is still active in many areas of 🇨🇦, so we must remain vigilant.
3/4 The reality is that #COVID19 is still spreading in some areas and it will be with us for the foreseeable future. So as local authorities continue to slowly reopen recreational, social, & economic spaces, the right & safest way to go out is to go OUT SMART. #OutSmartEpidemics
1/6 #COVID19 has severely impacted seniors, particularly residents of long-term care & assisted living homes (accounting for >80% of all deaths in Canada). Loved ones & all those who work daily with our seniors feel this great loss. #ProtecttheVulnerable
2/6 As we mark #NationalNursingWeek I would like to thank the #nurses & coworkers: #personalsupportworkers, orderlies, attendants & other essential service providers who deliver care and services to our elders, parents & grandparents. #Nurses2020
3/6 #HealthCareWorkers working with #OlderAdults not only deliver health & personal care services, but also offer the companionship, personal interaction & human kindness that is as vital to wellbeing as any medicine. #COVID19 #nurses #Nurses2020
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Daily case counts have been ↓ over the past couple weeks, with the number of cases reported last week 15% lower than the week prior. However, we still need to be cautious in our optimism!#PhysicalDistancing
2/4 Quebec & Ontario continue to report the bulk of new #COVID19 cases (~90%) and deaths (~95%) in Canada, but their daily case counts have also declined, by 6% and 10% respectively over the last week. #KeepItUp #TeamCanada
3/4 #COVID19 is a stealth virus that can spread before we know we have it – even as we get out more, we need to #StayApartTogether to keep ourselves, our families and all Canadians safe. #DoYourPart #ProtectTheVulnerable
1/8 Today my remarks focus on the disproportionate impacts and severe outcomes of #COVID19 on seniors. It’s hard to calculate the hardships endured and the grief that remains for those we’ve lost. #OlderAdults
2/8 Prevention & control of #COVID19 in high-risk populations is crucial for controlling this & future pandemic waves. These outbreaks drive up the case fatality rate, accelerate spread, & continue to spillover into the community.
3/8 But it is older adults who bear the brunt of #COVID19. Though an estimated 20% of COVID-19 cases in Canada are linked to long-term care homes, over 80% of all deaths are among seniors residing in these settings. #ProtecttheVulnerable
1/4 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: As we move into social & economic recovery, there will be challenges and bumps in the road but let’s not forget we are #ApartNotAlone and there is help. #MentalHealthWeek #COVIDCoping ca.portal.gs
2/4 It’s #MentalHealthWeek and we can all use some good news. Today I’m sharing the good news stat that over 26,000 or 43% of all confirmed #COVID19 cases in Canada are now recovered from their illness! I wish them all good health!
3/4 We must continue to make our way carefully down the curve, remembering that the many of the #PublicHealth measures that helped us #PlanktheCurve will continue to serve us well as we work to #CrushtheCurve.
