Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam told reporters in Ottawa keeping transmission rates low will be key in this “new reality of living with this virus” to keep the number of hospitalizations from overwhelming the health system this fall.
Tam said a worst-case scenario includes a sharp spike in the fall followed by “peaks and valleys” of outbreaks through to 2022, risking overwhelming health-care systems.Epidemic modelling, published Aug. 14, 2020, of potential best and worst-case scenarios for COVID-19 transmissions in Canada.

With Canada’s “high global connectivity” comes the risk of the virus being introduced and re-introduced in regions and populations, editorial writers said. Asked by a reporter what society will look like in 2022 under potential extended physical-distancing measures, Tam said that kind of guessing game is “extremely unwise.”
