1/6 For #COVID19 layering #publichealth protections is a MUST. Unless practiced well & maintained, none can be 100%. Our best layers are supported by strong evidence of effectiveness for prevention of respiratory infections. #PlanktheCurve #LayerUpCOVID

2/6 Where there is a gap or fail in one layer of protection, the layer above or below aims to cover that gap and maintain our protection. Canada knows how to layer for – here’s how to layer up for #COVID19. #PlanktheCurve #LayerUpCOVID

3/6 We know that #SocialDistancing - keeping 2-metres apart from others – works, well –IF practiced consistently & never relaxed around others (gap?) & we assume anyone could be potentially infected (gap?) #COVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives #LayerUpCOVID

4/6 We know that #HandWashing – with soap & water for at least 20 seconds – works, well – IF done frequently and after every possible hand contamination (gap?) AND IF - you don’t miss a spot (gap?) #COVID19 #PlanktheCurve #LayerUpCOVID

5/6 We know #coughetiquette reduces spread of infectious respiratory droplets TO OTHERS – IF coughs covered & no gaps in elbow/sleeve, mask/other covering (gap?) AND IF covering cleaned/discarded properly when contaminated (gaps). #LayerUpCOVID #ProtectDontInfect

6/6 We are learning about COVID-19, fast. BUT – we don’t know everything (gaps), so #LayerUpCOVID Canada, for the best protection against #COVID19.
