Canada's chief public health officer urged residents to continue making a 'collective effort' to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic on Saturday as parts of the country braced for new rounds of restrictions meant to curb the spread of the virus.

Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam responds to a question during a news conference Monday October 5, 2020 in Ottawa. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldTORONTO -- Canada's chief public health officer urged residents to continue making a "collective effort" to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic on Saturday as parts of the country braced for new rounds of restrictions meant to curb the spread of the virus.

Restrictions limiting visitors at long-term care homes in the region also took effect as of Saturday, the Ontario government said. The new rules in Winnipeg limit gatherings of people to five, and state that beverage rooms, bingo halls and casinos must close. Meanwhile, restaurants, lounges, retail stores, museums and libraries will be limited to half capacity.

Starting Monday, York Region will also join the province's other three COVID-19 hot spots in moving back to a modified Stage 2 of pandemic protocol for 28 days.The modified Stage 2 includes the closure of gyms and movie theatres, a ban on indoor dining in restaurants or bars, and a cap on public gatherings at 10 people indoors and 25 people outdoors.

With different approaches across the country while schools and some businesses remain open, the situation is "complicated" and challenging for individuals, families and public health authorities, Tam said.

Will she learn how her job should be done and start listening to real scientists and medical professionals? See how dumb she is:

Riveting piece of journalism

Montreal empress is ready to do her part. She set a precedent last year by canceling Halloween 🎃 !!!

That’s it? That’s the best we’ve got

It’s over

More scare tactics!

Take a hike lock her up

Can CTV maybe find a different picture to use? The deer in the headlights look does not ooze confidence. Didn’t have confidence in her anyway but still.

DumpsterMedia

How about allowing home tests stop being so paternalistic

Trump. Covid. Trump. Covid. Trump. Covid. Trump. Covid...

I don't think it would take a collective effort. I think one strong guy could pack Tam's bags and put her on a plane to Timbuktu, so we'd never have to hear her lunacy ever again.

Propaganda

The idiot who said masks were bad but now they are good...? She needs to go away

Canadian call on the government to fire dr Wuhan

Blow me, Tam! Oh wait. Nevermind.

END THIS MADNESS Keep the Virus Fire this insane woman. 200 000 Canadians are going to die because of delayed diagnosis This is NOT the black plague This woman should be in prison What the H*ll is really going on!

Continued 'collective effort', I thought she was going to give sex guidelines for groups now.

Make an individual effort, we're all unique and live in different circumstances. Just do the best you can and everything will be alright, so long as your authoritarian government officials don't get in your way ...

Yes, the effort to end this, now.

Question: CPHO_Canada ,As so many of us are wearing masks, keeping apart, staying home...how do you expain the exponential increase in covid infections in Canada, and in Europe? I thought these measures were supposed to work?

Bring on the whiners!

Where does the air go when you breath while wearing a mask? Out in the air. Duh. We're still spreading the virus..masks or no masks..lets stop being dumb
