Canada’s top doctor warns easing measures too fast could lead to surge in COVID-19 cases again
Description
February 18, 2022
Chief public health officer of Canada Dr. Theresa Tam said Friday that modelling projections showed a moderate easing of COVID-19 measures could lead to only a limited surge in cases amid the Omicron wave, which she said has passed its peak in Canada. However, she cautioned easing measures too fast would lead to a much bigger surge, though hospitalizations may be lower.
