THUNDER BAY — The combined impact of a resurgent flu, other respiratory illnesses, and continuing COVID-19 cases has Thunder Bay’s medical officer of health about as worried as she’s been since the arrival of COVID-19.
DeMille’s comments come a day after Ontario’s chief medical officer of health, Dr. Kieran Moore, issued a strong recommendation for residents to wear masks in indoor public spaces, but stopped short of renewing government mask mandates, amid unprecedented admissions to many children's hospitals in southern Ontario.“I think mandates are more difficult, overall — it can create some challenges,” she said, acknowledging those challenges are largely political.
It could be necessary for the province to take “stronger measures” in the future if the picture worsens, she said. At the moment, DeMille is most worried about kids four and under, who are at higher risk for the flu as well as respiratory syncytial virus .
