NEWS AND EVENTS
The CADTH COVID-19 Evidence Portal is updated regularly with new evidence on the prevention, treatments, and control of COVID-19. If you’re looking for credible answers to your COVID-19 questions, we can help. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, consider submitting a request.
Statistics Canada is conducting an important survey on the effects of COVID-19 on Canadians. Results will provide insights on how COVID-19 is affecting Canadians’ physical and mental health, as well as their social and employment situations. The information will be used to assess the needs of communities and to implement support measures during and after the pandemic. If you’re able to do so, please take a moment to complete the survey. It should take approximately five minutes.
