TORONTO – Medical experts say Ontario will have to significantly scale up its vaccination effort to achieve its goal
They say the province will need far more healthcare workers at vaccine clinics, 24-hour sites and clear public messaging to meet its Sept. 22 target.
Watson Duke
Public Services Association president Watson Duke has called on the Prime Minister to shut down the public sector, leaving open only the most critical departments.
“I’m not trying to be insensitive to the fact that people still need to conduct business but when my members are losing their lives, losing their health, where it is compromised, I’m concerned.”
Duke felt, “The only thing that must be operating on a limited basis should be water, lights and health care.”
He was speaking on a Facebook live broadcast on Wednesday afternoon, when he said the PSA is growing seriously concerned about the steady increase in covid19 cases among its members.
