The arrival of COVID-19 modified the way we live, care, teach, and self-care tremendously. Indeed, our personal and professional lives were much affected, and despite the fact that Canadian healthcare workers (HCW) and systems had some time to prepare in comparison to other countries, we faced a scenario that resembled no other.
