Timeline
On January 7, 2020, when it appeared that there was a health crisis emerging in Wuhan, Dr. Tam was advised Canadians: “There has been no evidence to date that this illness, whatever it’s caused by, is spread easily from person to person; no health care workers caring for the patients have become ill; a positive sign.”
At the end of January 2020, Tam said "no reason to be overly concerned" about COVID-19. On 23 January, Tam was a member of the WHO committee that broadcast that it was too early to declare a public health emergency of international concern. On 26 January, Tam stated "There is no clear evidence that this virus is spread easily from person to person. The risk to Canadians remains low." On January 27, Canada confirmed its first case. On 29 January, she told Canadians that "It's going to be rare, but we are expecting cases."
March saw an explosion of cases in Korea, Europe, and then the US and Canada. The WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. On 23 March 2020, Tam began appearing in public service announcements urging for personal hygiene and social distancing, and against unnecessary travel. The announcements will last until at least the end of April 2020.
Tam is an official advisor to the W.H.O.'s International Health Regulations Emergency Committee on 2019-nCoV.
Tam is on the Independent Oversight and Advisory Committee of the Health Emergencies Programme of the World Health Organization, a role she took up between April and June 2018.
Theresa Tam (Chinese: 譚咏詩 ; born 1965) is a Canadian physician and public servant. On June 26, 2017, Tam was appointed to the position of Chief Public Health Officer of Canada and head of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). Tam acted as Chief Public Health Officer of Canada after the retirement of Gregory W. Taylor in December 2016 until her formal appointment by Canadian Minister of Health Jane Philpott in 2017.
Tam said the opioid crisis, which cost over 2,500 lives in Canada in 2016, could be higher than 3,000 in 2017 if the current trend continues. "This far surpasses the number of motor-vehicle fatalities." She said overprescription of opioids contributed to this trend.
Tam was a co-chair of a 2006 federal report on pandemic preparedness in the wake of the SARS outbreak in Canada, which envisioned a respiratory infection pandemic that was described in The Globe and Mail as foreshadowing the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic "with eerie accuracy."
