The complexities of the current wave of COVID-19 are pushing growing regions to take further action as they seek to oppose the pandemic course, Canada’s most sensitive public health official said Monday.
Dr. Theresa Tam said public fitness officials in the region are looking to focus their reaction to epidemiology and local circumstances, but they are “directed at dubious waters. “
“No one knows precisely what will work, so there is a gray domain and other people are doing other things,” he said, adding that Canadians deserve to be aware that fundamental methods like hand washing, physical distance and deserve mask will still be addressed.
Public cooperation has been to combat the initial wave of the new coronavirus and we “want to review it” to straighten the ship, he said.
Tam’s comments came when Quebec announced stricter regulations than Ontario to mask academics in the hardest-hit areas, and days after Toronto announced it would be time to search due to an unsustainable number of cases.
Quebec has stated that it will make it mandatory to wear masks within the best regional schools at the COVID-19 alert point and outdoors on school grounds, at least until October 28. Affected regions include the Montreal and Quebec City regions.
Ontario, through comparison, requires academics to wear masks indoors.
Both provinces have noticed an increase in cases in recent weeks, with daily numbers reaching new heights since the spring, and Ontario faces a buildup of more than 60,000 remedy tests.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said federal laboratories have released an area for test support, which includes a capacity of 1,000 tests in Ontario each day. Other federal labs will be available, he said Monday.
Ottawa also supplies touch plotters to Ontario, Quebec and Alberta, he said. Five hundred full-time touch plotters were provided to Ontario, he said.
Abbott Laboratories’ first immediate COVID-19 checks, which can produce a 13-minute result in control, are also expected to begin arriving in Canada next week, the federal government announced Monday.
Trudeau said his government was preparing for the option of a momentary wave and had brought new tools, a “record amount” of non-public protective equipment, and a touch search app now used in several provinces.
“Obviously, all this was not enough. Now we’re going in the right direction, so it’s so vital that Canadians do what’s obligatory: wear a mask, keep the distance, perceive that we all have the strength to put an end to this through the possible options we make,” he said.
The number of new instances of COVID-19 continues to increase in several regions of the country, in Quebec and Ontario, representing more than 80 in line with the percentage of general instances in the country.
Quebec reported 1,191 new instances of COVID-19 on Monday, the day in general since the start of the pandemic, and its fourth consecutive day with more than 1,000 new diagnoses.
Ontario, meanwhile, has reported 615 new cases of COVID-19 and new deaths from the virus.
Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford said Monday that the province is achieving its restriction on hiv testing, saying laboratories are outnumbered in components due to a shortage of diagnostic technicians.
He cited a global shortage of chemicals needed to treat testing as contributing to the accumulation of untreated evidence in the province.
Public aptitude in several communities is already “really tired,” Tam said, warning that the kind of accelerated spread seen in some municipalities cannot be controlled only by testing and tactile search.
Although the number of hospitalizations has not yet soared, the recent increase in cases of long-term care services and nursing homes suggests that additional hospitalizations would possibly follow, he said.
“The fitness formula is the next frontier that can cross and we need that,” Tam said.
Other provinces are also experiencing a build-up of new cases and the application of restrictions in response.
In Manitoba, where 51 new cases were reported on Monday, the government announced that it would require authorized bars and other institutions in Winnipeg’s domain to close early in an effort to stop the virus. winnipeg.
