WATCH: What is The Canadian Sikh COVID Task Force? South Asians are found to be more prone to #covid19 due to many of us employed in the front line. DARPAN Magazine's social media host Ish Sharma spoke to Dr.Navdeep Grewal and Dr.Madhu Jawanda who are both doctors in the Fraser Health Region regarding The Canadian Sikh COVID TaskForce.
It's an initiative to bring awareness to the South Asian community as the numbers are on the rise significantly in Fraser Valley.
The modelling indicates that at current rates of in-person socializing, Canada could see COVID-19 case counts increase to8,000 per day come early December.
The study, which has been published online and is currently in the final stages of peer review for the journal Critical Care, concludes that the presence of the virus's RNA in blood is "associated to critical illness."
