Update: As the number of COVID-19 cases in Ontario climbs to levels we’ve never seen before, we’re working with the province and taking serious action to protect Ontarians. To do that, and to help fight this third wave, we’re providing additional, emergency support. Thread ⤵️
To help care for people across the province, we’re sending federal health care workers and equipment to the front lines. We’re also working with other provinces and territories to coordinate the logistics of getting extra support, supplies, and workers to Ontario.
To help stop the spread of the virus, we’re boosting rapid testing in hotspots across the province. We’re providing more funding for safe isolation sites and virtual health services, too, and extending two Mobile Health Units that were deployed to Toronto and Hamilton in January.
To help with vaccines, we stand ready to deploy @RedCrossCanada, which could help the province with mobile vaccination teams. On top of that, the @CanadianForces are working with partners to determine what additional support they can provide to Ontario.
This emergency support is in addition to what we’ve already provided the province for personal protective equipment, rapid testing, contact tracing, and safer schools. To learn more about what we’re doing to keep Ontarians safe, click here: bit.ly/2P0PwnJ
