9/9 Although one of the downsides of a highly connected world is the ever present risk of emerging diseases that spread rapidly around the world - today’s #science announcements give us hope for our future. #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #CrushTheCurve

8/9 It is hard to imagine where we would be now without our current connectivity ↑rapid and open sharing of research and scientific advancement on biomedical, social and policy countermeasures. Not to mention keeping us #TogetherApart! #COVID19 #Science #StrongerTogether

7/9 …and virtual platforms sharing data & accelerated research findings w\ virus strain information & pre-publication research to increase awareness of emerging #science. This allows better alignment of lines of inquiry + open review. #COVID19 #Science

6/9 We’ve seen the power of solidarity in a connected world, with researchers collaborating across borders, data trackers scrubbing the web to share up-to-the minute stats and charts for all the world to see… #COVID19 #Science #Innovation

5/9 Like everything else, these advantages and the progress we can make, are made better, faster and more powerful when we work together toward a shared goal. #COVID19 #StongerTogether #CrushtheCurve

4/9 Reflecting back on prior pandemics in the recent and more distant past, we witnessed some of the advantages of our more virtually-connected, technology-powered society. #COVID19 #Innovation #StrongerTogether #WeWillGetThroughThis #cavabienaller

3/9 From discovery & genetic sequencing of the virus in January, to building our understanding of #COVID19 disease characteristics & spread through tried & true applied #epidemiology & #publichealth investigation, we’ve ↑ knowledge. #PlanktheCurve

2/9 Nevertheless, today is a great day to consider the progress we’ve made in better understanding #COVID19. There are still a lot of unknowns, but the pace & expanse of evidence-based discovery & #science #innovation is inspiring. #GoScience #SlowtheSpread #PlanktheCurve

1/9 #COVID19 key concerns in : We still face considerable challenges, including the need to extinguish ongoing outbreaks + we need to continue ramp up of testing to find/manage persistent chains of transmission in communities. #TestandTrace #CrushtheCurve

Over 610,000 people have been tested for #COVID19 in , with over 6.5% confirmed as positive. Provinces & territories continue to strengthen capacity to maintain testing at a high rate to better #TestandTrace where spread is occurring.

Tomorrow night, Muslims across will mark the beginning of the month of #Ramadan. To #SlowtheSpread of #COVID19 it is vital to #StayHomeSaveLives. So inspired & grateful to Canadian organizations that are working to bring a virtual community #TogetherApart this Ramadan.

6/6 To prevent a resurgence of #COVID19 epidemic growth we must prevent similar outbreaks from occurring in shelters & other crowded (or congregate) living settings. We’ve got to build up all protections & address all vulnerabilities. #PhysicalDistancing

5/6 If we are to #CrushtheCurve of #COVID19, we must stamp out all of the burning embers of this disease that continue to fuel outbreaks and can lead to new chains of transmission. #PhysicalDistancing #PublicHealth

4/6 The risk factors in these types of settings aren’t new. The fact is that enclosed spaces with large populations sharing common areas that can’t maintain optimal #PhysicalDistancing are at risk for outbreaks. #publichealth #COVID19
