Check out our latest report on #antimicrobialresistence in Ontario. Grateful to the labs and hospitals that participated in the surveys and to our @PublicHealthON and @IQMH colleagues for the support.

[Public Health ON @PublicHealthON]

We've released the results of our annual survey of antimicrobial resistance and infection control practices in Ontario. New this year: a section on Candida auris – an emerging multi-drug resistant fungal pathogen in healthcare settings. Read more: w/@IQMH https://t.co/Grn8Mu0S4t

[Public Health ON @PublicHealthON]

Today is the first day of National Infection Control Week. This week, we are celebrating and highlighting infection control efforts in hospitals, long-term care facilities and in the community that keep Ontarians safe and healthy. #NICW #IPAC

Keeping this in mind for the coming year. Happy new year everyone!

Effective today, Ontario is in a Provincewide Shutdown to help minimize#COVID19 transmission, prevent our health system capacity from being overwhelmed, safeguard our most vulnerable + those who care for them, & save lives. More info: https://t.co/tEbq6hOynr #StepUpAndStayHome

[Toronto Public Health @TOPublicHealth]

Current #COVID19 rates in TO are very concerning & an important reminder of just how easily it spreads from person to person. #COVID19 doesn't take a holiday – please celebrate safely with only those you live with & connect with others virtually. More: https://t.co/041TNIWiEz

[Ontario Ministry of Health @ONThealth]

Ontario is moving six #PublicHealth regions to new levels to help #StopTheSpread of #COVID19. As the holiday season approaches, the government is urging all Ontarians to continue to follow all required public health measures and public health advice. https://t.co/Xrpuw40mB2

Keep the distance folks. Take care.

[Dr. Eileen de Villa @epdevilla]

#COVID19 cases in TO reached a new record today. Our call to action has never been clearer: I cannot urge you strongly enough to keep apart during the holidays to prevent even worse outcomes. Here are my remarks from today's media briefing: https://t.co/4MMD73ZeJb

We have a Canadian version of the @JohnsHopkinsSPH #COVID2019 dashboard!

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

Changing your mind in changing circumstances is not flip-flopping and not a lack of leadership. It's how you do good science, and how we should shape public policy going forward - being nimble, not rigid. And recognizing #COVID19 is as humbling as it is challenging.

"Having friends over for dinner is not #SocialDistancing. Arranging play dates is not social distancing. Visiting family in hospital or care homes is not social distancing. Stopping at a grocery story to stock up after travel is not social distancing" - @epdevilla #COVID19

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

#COVID19 March 16 Canada: 413 cases - ON 172, BC 103, AB 56, QC 50, SK 7, MB 7, NS 5, PEI 1, NL 1, GP 4 (Grand Princess cruise ship). 4 #coronavirus deaths, all B.C.

[Michelle Policarpio @M_Policarpio]

Amen to that. Let's all do our part in #flatteningthecurve. Let's wash our hands and practice #SocialDistancing.

[Jeff Kwong @DrJeffKwong]

#Flatteningthecurve will prevent the health system from collapsing and will save lives. We all have to do our part. If you don’t believe me, go read about what’s happening in Italy. That’s what we’re trying to avoid.

Authors describe transmission of #2019nCoV from a father, who had flown with his wife from Wuhan to Hanoi, to his son. The findings suggest that the incubation period in the son may have been 3 days or less. https://t.co/mkWPFNMt0S

Alright, so let me say a few things that I would say to myself if I could go back a couple years. If you read any of these words and think you hear me saying your name, I am...otherwise, I'm not. #UnderdogTwitterTakeover
