12:00 p.m. ‘We are seeing encouraging signs’
Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, offered Canadians encouraging news at the federal minister’s update.
While over 5,153 Canadians are unwell, only 7 per cent have been hospitalized, 3 per cent are critically ill and 1 per cent of cases are fatal.
Tam confirmed there is some ‘cautious optimism’ coming out of British Columbia, with a slight flattening of the curve and reduced growth of cases. The country will look closely at the province's cases and curve to confirm what method of distancing is most effective in coming weeks.
The optimism coming out of British Columbia doesn’t mean that social distancing should come to an end.
“This should spur us to keep up with our new habit of social distancing. We need to stay the course,” Tam urged.
The important thing is to stay in your bubble and not burst someone else’s by getting within 2-metres of distance of them.
Deputy Chief Public Health Officer Howard Njoo reiterated Tam’s message when asked about how long social distancing will continue across the country.
‘We can’t predict what will happen in the future but there have been encouraging signs. The number of cases is decreasing in British Columbia, or even in Canada. It's important we stay the course and we not give up.”
British Columbia (92) – Health officials announced 92 new COVID-19 cases and one new death. But the province also announced that roughly 45 per cent of patients have recovered. 121 new recoveries
