Canada health officials give update on COVID-19, other health concerns | LIVE

Health Canada officials are expected to provide an update on COVID-19 and other public health concerns during a press conference on Thursday.

There are growing concerns about an ongoing nationwide shortage of pain medications like Tylenol for children in Canada, as the annual flu season and a potential wave of COVID-19 loom.

Ontarians are being advised to keep up with vaccinations and wear masks indoors as doctors warn of a worsening respiratory illness season that’s hitting children – and the pediatric health system – particularly hard.

The early arrival of the flu, a resurgence in respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, and the continued spread of COVID-19 has made for a “triple threat” respiratory season that’s sending many children to the hospital and the situation is expected to get worse in the coming months, doctors said.
