As we prepare for fall, we need everyone to pay attn & step back from the social interactions we've had this summer. When cooler weather & flu season arrives we want to be ready for the challenge.
Using our #COVIDSense will allow us to protect our most vulnerable in colder mths.
The data also shows some concerning upward trends: The reproduction # for new cases is increasing above 1, & we are also seeing an uptick in our epidemiological curve.
This tells us that we are on edge of increasing our social interactions too much and are at risk of a rebound.
UPDATE: B.C. could almost eliminate new cases of COVID-19 by July if everyone continues to follow strict health and safety measures to reduce transmission, according to new modelling projections released by the province’s top doctor Monday.

Today, I join millions of Canadians in wishing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II a very happy 94th birthday. She has stood by Canada with extraordinary strength and enduring grace, and we wish her continued health and happiness in the years ahead. https://t.co/a082TYvKRS
If you’ve lost your income because of COVID-19, the Canada Emergency Response Benefit will give you $2,000 a month for up to 4 months. It doesn’t matter whether you worked full time, on contract, or were self-employed - you qualify and can apply starting the week of April 6th.
And they are ready! Two emergency response centres - at the Roundhouse and Coal Harbour community centres - are now helping people experiencing #homelessness to have access to safe, supportive spaces during the #COVID19 crisis.
We are at a critical point in our response to COVID-19. British Columbians are making a difference. What we are doing today is working – but we are not out of danger yet. We must keep it up. Every person in BC needs to work together to prevent the spread of COVID-19. #COVIDBC
Stay home. It doesn’t matter that the weekend’s almost here - if you choose to gather in groups or hang out with your friends, you’re putting yourself, those around you, and our health care workers at risk. So take this seriously. Do the right thing and stay home this weekend.
PM @JustinTrudeau announced the government is increasing the wage subsidy for small and medium-sized businesses. Ottawa will now cover 75% of wages (up from 10%) and this subsidy will be backdated to Sunday, March 15 #cdnpoli
Trudeau makes another plea for Canadians to stay home. "It's not hard to do what we're asking you to do - just stay home. If you must go keep a 2 m distance between you and others," PM says.
I have friends who are health care workers and I know how exhausted they are and how much they are committed to our care. Let’s do this Canada. Let’s all cheer loudly to show our support of them. Who’s with me? 7pm every night!! Please RT.

Social distancing is not a suggestion, it is an order issued by our Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. It means:
🏡Staying home or inside
↔️ Staying 2 metres apart outside your home
🥫Limiting errands and appointments
👪No group gatherings
#COVIDbc
To the people who seem to think they’re invincible: You’re not. So go home and stay home. You’re not just putting yourself at risk, you’re putting others at risk too - nurses and doctors, grocery store workers, your grandparents, and so many others. #StayAtHomeSaveLives
