'In my opinion, absolutely the government should be following the advice of the chief medical officer of health,' says Liberal MPP Adil Shamji, who is a doctor
TORONTO — Ontario's health minister said it's a "personal choice" to wear a mask Tuesday, one day after the province's top doctor urged everyone to do so in all indoor spaces.
Pediatric hospitals across the province are at capacity, he said. Those hospitals have had to cancel non-urgent surgeries o deal with the surge of young patients in intensive care, emergency departments and pediatric wards. Ford said Sunday that Ontarians should wear a mask "every time possible." He repeatedly said he'd follow Moore's advice.
"We have to do the difficult things and demonstrate to the public that we are willing to not just talk the talk, but walk the walk," said Liberal MPP Adil Shamji, who is also an emergency room physician. "We just have to see consistency both in the messaging and the action that takes place," Boozary said.
