COVID-19 Series: The policy perspective on lockdowns and physical activity

Medicine in Motion

In this episode, we (virtually) sat down with Eric Thomson, who's a Senior Policy & Strategic Issues Advisor with Toronto Public Health, about what the decision-making process for government-mandated lockdowns looks like, including who's involved, the information they consider, and how the need for exercise fits in. Eric discusses how this process has evolved as our understanding of the virus grows, and how this has shaped programs promoting accessibility to physical activity, such as ActiveTO.
