![A box is unloaded from a 48-foot container that arrived recently in Grand Bahamas from Prince Edward Island. Luke Ignace, a student in P.E.I. and a businessman, who is a native of Grand Bahamas, held a fundraising drive last year to put together a relief package for the country that was devastated two years ago by hurricane Dorian. Items sent to Grand Bahamas include water, towels, health and wellness supplies, menstrual products, diapers, masks and water filtration units. Ignace travelled to Grand Bahamas to help his brother, Osni, organize the donated items.

![This graph shows the mobility threshold (black line), a calculation based on the seasons (higher in summer) and population (lower in more densely populated provinces) that estimates the maximum amount of out-of-home activity that should be tolerated to keep COVID-19 cases low. The dots represent mobile phone activity in Canada each week over the same time period. The shading around the dots represents COVID-19 growth rate at that time. When mobile activity exceeded the threshold, the growth rates start to increase after a short period of time, and vice versa. (CMAJ)]()
