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 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☀️" title="Sun with rays" aria-label="Emoji: Sun with rays">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❄️" title="Snowflake" aria-label="Emoji: Snowflake">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☔️" title="Umbrella with rain drops" aria-label="Emoji: Umbrella with rain drops"> – 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 (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">gap?) & we assume anyone https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="↔" title="Left right arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Left right arrow"> could be potentially infected (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">gap?) #COVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives #LayerUpCOVID

4/6 We know that #HandWashing https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> – with soap & water for at least 20 seconds – works, well – IF done frequently and after every possible hand contamination (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">gap?) AND IF - you don’t miss a spot (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">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 (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">gap?) AND IF covering cleaned/discarded properly when contaminated (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">gaps). #LayerUpCOVID #ProtectDontInfect

6/6 We are learning about COVID-19, fast. BUT – we don’t know everything (https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬅️" title="Leftwards arrow" aria-label="Emoji: Leftwards arrow">gaps), so #LayerUpCOVID Canada, for the best protection against #COVID19.
