How science is bringing Canada back to life

Canada’s scientists stepped up like never before during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping to flatten the curve and pave the way towards reopening. But with vaccines still months away, researchers are also showing us how to live safely with the virus in our midst.

Canada’s Chief Medical Officer Theresa Tam, pictured June 16, 2020, arriving for that day's daily press conference in West Block. We all want a full return to normalcy, to a life in which COVID is of no more concern than the seasonal flu. I am confident that science will get us there. In the meantime, science has shown what we can all do to help: masking, physical distancing, frequent hand-washing, and reduced social circles can slow the spread of the virus to a trickle, writes Canada's chief science adviser to the prime minister Mona Nemer.
