        o   Interview with Dr. Matthew Oughton on CTV News Understanding the real-time
            transmission of the virus is important in identifying risk factors and preventing the spread
            of the virus among vulnerable people.
        o   Interview with Dr Soham Rej. L’actualité Magazine : Aînés : quand un coup de fil peut tout
            changer. Many seniors have had a tough time since during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some
            are vulnerable and are experiencing depression, stress, anxiety and even cognitive
            impairment. What can be done to counter the negative effects on the elderly.
