Department of Pediatrics, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/113465During the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic in 2020, many countries shut down schools and businesses in an effort to slow transmission of the virus. As some businesses reopened, increased public health protocols, mask wearing, hand sanitizer, and personal protective equipment use remained. The shut down and public health restrictions for person-to-person interaction, resulted in a decline of other transmissible diseases as well as Sars-CoV-2. In Calgary, the incidence of invasive disease due to Streptococcus pneumoniae declined to much lower levels than would be expected in early spring and remained low until December 2020. This decline occurred despite no changes in vaccine use and uptake.engStreptococcus pneumoniaepneumococcusinvasive pneumococcal diseaseincidenceepidemiologySARS-CoV-2COVID-19pandemicreporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.11575/PRISM/38904
