Confused about COVID
To help Ontarians make sense of the overwhelming amount of available information about COVID-19, family doctors have created this set of resources to address the most common questions from the public about symptoms, safety, testing and more. The Confused about COVID (external website) series of downloadable PDFs was developed by the OCFP and the University of Toronto Department of Family & Community Medicine.
