Children's hospitals across the province are already overwhelmed with young patients
TORONTO — Ontario's top doctor will recommend the public begin masking on Monday in an effort to help overwhelmed children's hospitals, two government sources said Saturday.
"I would definitely encourage universal masking right now, there's no question that would help," said Dr. Ronald Cohn. "I want to reassure you that all these children continue to get the safe and high quality care that they've always been receiving, and for now I can tell you that everybody still gets that kind of care," he said.
Ontario Health, the agency that oversees the province's health-care system, has directed general hospitals in recent weeks to accept children 14 years and older who need intensive care, as well as those who have just left a pediatric ICU but need more time to recover.
