Rapidly rising ICU admissions and variants of concern are pushing Ontario’s medical labs to their breaking point as the province continues to battle a turbulent COVID-19 third wave.
The head of the Medical Laboratory Professionals’ Association of Ontario (MLPAO) says close to 90 per cent of workers reported feelings of burnout at the end of last year. Now, the workload is far greater than ever before in the pandemic. On Friday, there were 695 COVID patients in ICUs according to the Ontario Hospital Association – an all-time high.
