“Stay In Your Bubble” Encourages Canada’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Health

Cautious optimism this afternoon from Canada’s top doctors.  Canada’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Howard Njoo says B.C. is seeing a slowing of new cases of COVID-19 but stressed it is absolutely essential that Canadians continue to practice physical-distancing and to stay at home if they have symptoms.  Njoo again referenced personal bubbles, a two-metre space that surrounds you or your partner or family depending on your domestic situation.  Njoo stressed, “Stay in your bubble and don’t burst anyone else’s.”
