Join Dr. Andrew Papadopoulos for a brief talk on the current status of COVID-19.  He will provide details about the state of current information both locally and across Canada as well as review the latest science on prevention. The talk will provide some perspective on the potential path of the pandemic over the coming weeks and months. During this talk, Dr. Papadopoulos may touch on issues related to monkeypox and influenza.  Dr. Andrew Papadopoulos will answer questions you have related to COVID-19.
