The Canadian Pandemic Influenza Plan for the Health Sector
  • This is the 550 page document on The Canadian Pandemic Influenza Plan for the Health Sector, which was prepared in 2006 and co-written by Dr. Theresa Tam (who would later become the Canadian chief public health officer in charge of fighting the coronavirus).
  • This document was published a few years after the SARS outbreak and gives an extensive plan to combat almost an identical pandemic to the novel coronavirus.
  • However, documents like these that were meant to prepare the Canadian government, were largely overlooked and outdated by the time COVID-19 devastated the globe.
