THE CANADIAN PRESS IMAGES/Chris Young THE CANADIAN PRESS IMAGES/Chris Young TORONTO – Thousands of health-care workers need to be prioritized for full immunization from COVID-19 as they work with patients hospitalized with the deadly virus, say groups representing them. The Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, Canadian Union of Public Employees, and Service Employees International Union said Thursday they have asked the province to accelerate second doses for the workers but have received no commitment.

Partially vaccinated, working in ER: Calls grow to give second doses to front-line health workers

Article content Dr. Michael Herman can’t get much closer to the front lines of pandemic health care than he already is. During every recent shift in the emergency department at Queensway Carleton Hospital, he has treated at least three or four COVID-positive patients, sometimes performing procedures with a high potential risk of spread. And, while the emergency doctor uses full personal protective equipment, he does not have the same level of protection as many of his colleagues, even those who don’t see patients face-to-face: He has not received a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

Conestoga College receives nearly $5M to graduate 500 long-term care support staff

KITCHENER A nearly $5 million influx of funding to Conestoga College is meant to help graduate up to 500 long-term care support staff. On Monday, the Minister of Long-Term Care, Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, announced the funding for the college to support a seven-week program which will begin next month. “Our government is committed to modernizing long-term care and this includes having the well-trained staff that we need to support our most vulnerable,” said Fullerton. The minister describes the program as a “micro-credential” course which includes five weeks of technical training and two weeks of on-the-job experience. Those people completing the course will be able to assist with infection prevention and control, health and safety and housekeeping.

Ontario giving employees three paid sick days, reimbursing employers

The Canadian Press, with files from staff Workers in Ontario will soon be able access three paid sick days to help them self-isolate during the coronavirus pandemic, but critics said the policy announced April 28 falls far short of what’s required to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government had for months resisted intense pressure from health experts and advocates who said paid sick leave would reduce workplace outbreaks. The province only shifted its stance recently, after the federal government left a national sick-pay benefit unchanged in this month’s budget. Ontario Labour Minister Monte McNaughton announced that a three-day sick leave policy which will be administered through the Workplace Insurance and Safety Board will be retroactive to April 19 and will end on Sept. 25. Employers will be reimbursed for up to $200 a day for what they pay out. The program will be created through new legislation the government is to introduce Apri
