Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam has wrapped her update on the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada with a direct message to young people.
The novel coronavirus's spread in their cohort must be pared back for the good of the rest of the country.
Dr. Tam says young people played a crucial role in crushing the spring wave of the pandemic and they can do it again.
A review of known cases in Canada shows the incidence has remained highest among young adults since late June.
Chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam says Canada is now at a crossroads when it comes to avoiding a major resurgence of COVID-19.
She says both public health and personal preventive measures need to be strengthened if we are to get the spread of the virus under control.
Dr. Tam says there will be a surge of infections if people increase their contacts with others, noting the epidemic will bounce back faster and stronger, as contagious people spread the virus.
