Canadians Asked to 'Down-Size Your Coronavirus Bubble'

Canada's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam posted on message on Twitter on October 3, 2020, saying 'Canada is running out of time to prevent a major resurgence of COVID-19, with Ontario and Quebec continuing to report excessive numbers of cases. And, diagnostic labs across Canada continue to test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus at a high rate, with an average of over 71,000 people tested daily and which produced a 1.8% positivity rate last week.'

'Public health #TestandTrace remains vital, but without ALL OF US making hard choices now, keeping up with layers of personal protection at all times and #DownsizeYourBubble, it won’t be enough to prevent a large resurgence,' continued Dr. Tam Tweet.

There have been 162,659 cases of COVID-19 confirmed in Canada, including 9,409 fatalities during 2020.
