@DigitalCDN @CDS_GC @ESDC_GC @CanRevAgency Awesome! Thanks for clarifying this is for Covid19 related benefits and Canadabenefits.gc.ca is for all normal benefits. Thanks for the work you do and keep up the amazing work @CDS_GC!

@DigitalCDN @CDS_GC @ESDC_GC @CanRevAgency Awesome tool! Just wondering - What's different between this and CanadaBenefits.gc.ca ?

@JulioHashem @OttawaFoodBank @WuTangClan @VancityReynolds

Let’s just go ahead and rename the @OttawaFoodBank “The Deadpool Food Bank powered by Wu-Tang”. Sounds way cooler. In all seriousness, it’s great to see these guys helping out our food bank. @WuTangClan @VancityReynolds

@Brett_CBC That lines up with the data on @Google mobility report on changes of location of people in the community: google.com/covid19/mobili…

BREAKING: Halifax Regional Police confirm they issued *dozens* of COVID-19 tickets on Saturday. People at closed parks/beaches ($697.50 fine). People closer than 2m, or in groups larger than five ($1000 or $7500 fine). Full weekend total to be released Monday.

@Raptorswave @ServiceCanada_E @ESDC_GC @HonAhmedHussen @flackchap I assure you, thousands of calls are getting through, though the call and all contact volume is higher than it has ever been. If you need to address your personal file for a program, keep trying, check the program's website regularly, and have patience.

@ColinPennie @ServiceCanada_E @ESDC_GC @HonAhmedHussen @flackchap I NEED HELP. NO CALLS ARE GOING THROUGH

Sending a big wave/nod/bow to all my coworkers at @ServiceCanada_E working overtime getting info to Canadians across the country & world, getting half the country onto EI, helping seniors get their pensions - and sooo much more. #CanadiansIn3Words We got this. #proudtobeCanadian

@amethystsavides LOL!!!!

@mary_lestage @LeadersGC All the info is at Canada.ca/coronavirus and it's being updated regularly and has links out to everything - send people there if you don't have time to find an exact link.

Let's keep up the pace! Q3. Many frontline workers are required to continue working from their offices. How can their #GC colleagues support frontline workers through this difficult situation? #Telework #LeadersGC

@AmandaBernardo @LeadersGC As part of the massive phone and email teams mostly working onsite, I'd recommend tweeting websites where updates are being posted, if you see a #gc or provincial or municipal post without a link, comment with it. Also relentlessly compliment everyone's hard work and good deeds.

@LeadersGC A3 TELL ME how I can support! Part of me feels helpless working from home when I know others are working so hard for the #GC and Canadians on the front lines. Right now, I’m trying to help share information, build community, remain off VPN, and volunteer however I can! #LeadersGC

@smegandtheheads @CBCOttawa @smwgilbert @OmarCBC @VeraEtches @ottawahealth Take the self-assessment: ontario.ca/page/2019-nove…

We learned tonight 3 more people have COVID-19 in Ottawa, bringing the total number of people with the virus to 19. Hear part of @OmarCBC invu with medical officer of health @VeraEtches below. Read more: cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… #COVID19ON

@stefaniekata @ServiceCanada_E That's awesome to hear. I assure you, the hundreds of people I work with in my section are some of the most focused, kind-hearted, conscientious people I've ever met. I also hope everyone can just be a little more kind in times like this. Take care!

(1/2) Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes. We encourage you to use self-serve options to access our programs and services, including EI, online canada.ca

@AlexHaggertWay @ottawahealth @CBCNews Yeah local info is key, and the websites for Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and world health organization all have good practices for self isolation - also search resources for mental health online. Also singing, dancing, walks, reading, cleaning, emailing family and friends will help.

@ColinPennie @ottawahealth @CBCNews Thank you. For me, putting my feet on the earth and breathing fresh air is so important for feeling grounded and stable. So I’m feeling lost in the the federal guidelines don’t specifically address this. I trust @ottawahealth and appreciate that they are being clear.

Looking for clarification on #selfisolation guidelines for travellers returning from abroad. Different sources (PHAC, Canada.ca, @ottawahealth, @CBCNews) say different things. Can I go outside for some fresh air?

@AlexHaggertWay I'd say go with Ottawa Public Health advice, and also check through the @WHO website for covid - they also have a lot of info and resources for psychological first aid for addressing mental health in a crisis.

It’s only day 1 of self isolation and these questions are piling up and I can’t get clarity. On top of feeling a little cooped up, feeling confused and alone is going to break my freaking heart. 😣

@AlexHaggertWay If you're not exhibiting symptoms - Yes, yes, yes, yes. The federal self-isolation guidelines are here canada.ca/en/public-heal… and info for pets if you're exhibiting symptoms is here canadianveterinarians.net/news-events/ne…

Can I walk my dog (at off-peak hours, staying far away from anyone)? Is it safe for my dog to even be here? Can I set up a chair on the front lawn 2-3 metres away from my mom and talk to her? Can I reach my arm out the door and tap my credit card on the machine for food delivery?
