Medical health officers across Saskatchewan are once again pleading with the provincial government to do more to combat COVID-19, according to a letter obtained by CBC News.
In a recent letter to Health Minister Paul Merriman obtained by CBC News, medical health officers urged the province to implement more stringent restrictions, which Dr. Saqib Shahab says are “closely aligned with many recommendations that I made to government.”
The provincial government announced Tuesday that it is spending $20 million this year to hire 193 new inspections staff and launch a proactive inspections program in Ontario’s long-term care homes.
