Last Updated Monday, February 24, 2020 3:59PM ESTCanada's border measures to guard the country against incoming cases of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, will likely become less effective as the virus spreads, the country's chief medical officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Monday.
"These signs are concerning, and they mean that the window of opportunity for containment, that is for stopping the global spread of the virus, is closing," Tam said. "It also tells countries like Canada, who have been able to detect and manage imported cases thus far, that we have to prepare." Health Minister Patty Hajdu said the public-health agency will be tracking other close contacts of the two most recent cases in B.C. to check on their health.
Canada's priority wouldn't change even if a pandemic were declared, Tam said. The goal is still to hold the virus off for as long as possible before it starts spreading from person to person within the country.
Completely out of control
Do your job.
Well Tam we have already figured that for ourselves, not sure why Canada is paying you
'containment window shrinking'? No shit, Sherlock. Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, Dr. Theresa Tam CPHO_Canada, should have listened to your employers, the Canadian people, when we told you to stop flights from China instead of calling us racists.
There are many cases and many deaths in Iran too .....Remember Trudeau met with Iranian officials in secret behind closed doors..... could the PM be a carrier? Was he tested?
Camera shrinking too?
Yet our idiot health Minister says we got nothing to worry about as we accept all flights in and out of China. We're gonna end up like Italy. Watch.
How much more are we not being told by are Canadian Trudeau gov't?
Ken Cuccinelli of US Dept. of Homeland security rules out nothing in regards to where the virus started. Was it man made and get out of a lab was a conspiracy. Not anymore! Did Canada let this get away?
Chinese products usually dont last long. So dont worry about coronavirus
But that's racist
Why are they playing Russian roulette with our lives? 🦠 spreading like wildfire around globe. Irresponsible to say risk low in 🇨🇦. Flights/travel should have been banned. Mandatory not self isolation. Lack of common sense. Travel =spread
Four weeks ago ... *Oh no. Nothings wrong. We have it all under control!* Coronavirus......hold my beer!
His this chinese propaganda. Canada wants Canadian representation please.
STOP ALL THE FLIGHTS TO AND FROM CHINA!!!!!!
200K flights cancelled! Bail the banks!
Given the virus’ long incubation period, you can’t know yet if the measures have been effective.
