The Globe and Mail - Five ways to reduce and evaluate risk in a potential 6th wave of COVID-19

More than a million people have turned to an online calculator that was created to help Canadians manage their COVID-19 risk. My COVID-19 Visit Risk Decision Aid, which is free online, was first created during the second wave of COVID-19 in fall 2020.

“People were starting to ask questions such as "Is it safe to visit with others?" and "Are there safer ways to visit with others?" The NIA turned it into a three-minute risk calculator in spring 2021. The tool can be a valuable resource as people navigate what appears to be a sixth wave with few restrictions," says Dr. Samir Sinha, NIA Director of Health Policy Research.
