19 U pdate: T oday ’ s P resentation

•

The information provided in this presentation was developed by several experts at Ontario Health, Public Health Ontario and researchers at Ontario universities, led by the COVID-19 Command Table.

•

The

objective of today’s presentation is to share the modelling and projectio n data that the

Command T able has been using to inform our work, and advising government on their response to COVID-19.

•

We feel is it important to be transparent with the public about the challenges we are facing, and the important work we all need to do to flatten the curve.

•

How this outbreak unfolds is in the hands of the public, in all of your hands

–

we can change the outcomes by how we all stay at home and physically distance ourselv es.

•

Recognizing that we get new information about this outbreak on a daily basis, we will continue to refine our models.

•

Our public health measures so far have made a significant difference and we need everyone to stay f ocused on these in the weeks ahead: stay home, stop the spread, stay safe.
