Canada's chief public health officer is calling on Canadians to resist giving in to pandemic fatigue as novel coronavirus cases among young people surge across the country. Tam reinforced a message delivered last week by her deputy, Dr. Howard Njoo — that young people need to continue following public health guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It is going to take all Canadians doing their part and working together, with public health, to keep the curve down." Tam said the peak of new daily cases arrived in early May, when the average daily case count was 1,800. Hajdu said public health officials are working to craft messaging that does a better job of targeting young people.
