COVID-19 Projections Update

Today, the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table and Modelling Consensus Table issued a COVID-19 Projections Update.  Click here to review the document COVID-19 Projections Update (January 12, 2021).  We wish to highlight a couple of comments made at today’s media conference:

“When we are talking about the impact of COVID, we are not only talking about COVID.  We are talking about mortality in long-term care homes; we are talking about people living with cancer, with heart disease, respiratory illness, neurological illness not being able to access the services they need.”  –  Matthew Anderson, President & CEO, Ontario Health, January 12, 2021.

“When we start to delay care…heart disease will worsen and patients will die as they are unable to get access to care.”  –  Adalsteinn Brown, Co-Chair, Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table, January 12, 2021.
