Hospitalizations are also on the rise, chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Tuesday.
“All across Canada, doesn’t matter where you are, it’s very likely that Omicron variant, the BA. 2 sub-lineage, is spreading quite widely in your community. So doesn’t matter where you are in Canada right now,” Tam said, advising everyone to get vaccinated, wear a mask and improve ventilation to limit the spread.On Tuesday, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization strengthened a number of recommendations, suggesting all adults between the age of 18 and 49 should get a first booster shot.
“We need to continuously provide some of the epidemiologic information that we know about,” she said. Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador are the only provinces that report daily COVID-19 data, she said in an interview Monday, adding that Canada does less COVID-19 testing per capita than other wealthy countries.
“You need to give people information so they can make better risk assessments and so that they can modify their behaviour accordingly,” she said. “If you withhold that information, or, by omission, just don’t provide it, you’re limiting the ability of people to act on that information.”
