Canada’s top doctor knows this is a frustrating time for everyone as we wait for signs of improvement on the COVID-19 front.
However, Dr. Theresa Tam notes our efforts are at least making a small dent in the fight.
“Thanks to all the efforts of Canadians. The health system in Canada is coping and we need to keep it this way. There are areas where the virus has been the most active, like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, but these areas are managing too.”
Dr. Tam stresses we owe it to everyone to not put anyone at risk, and to do all we can to stop the spread of the virus right now.
You can do that by following physical distancing and and self-isolation.
Dr. Tam notes the hardest-hit coronavirus countries like Italy are showing they may have already passed their peak.
She says they continue to make adjustments on the lessons learned from other countries and adapt their responses accordingly.
