Safe Care Ontario Advocating for universal masking protections in healthcare and other mitigation tools. Airborne pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease, pose a risk to EVERYONE's health ...

COVID outbreak risk remains in #ONhealth hospitals without layers of protection.Universal masking in ALL areas of #Ontario hospitals is essential for safe healthcare access.

Let regional decision-makers know this is a priority.

I just said out loud "I'm so cold" then I saw your post. So ... I might warm up in a couple of weeks, but the forecast shows no sign of this frigid weather letting up. hahahhaha The sun is shining so I'll be grateful for that.

A step in the right direction but a *requirement* would be better. I don't think we have either at our hospitals here in Ontario. Hope you're doing well Sheila!

RSV is demanding some attention now. Covid is on the uptick too. This is a wicked viral season.

You know what to do: ๐Ÿ˜ท ๐Ÿ’‰๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ
