Court denies injunction to unvaccinated Quebec caregivers seeking access to residents

Unvaccinated Quebec caregivers in court to gain access to long-term care homes Natalia Manole had argued in court last week that vulnerable residents are suffering without access to caregivers, and if unvaccinated health-care workers are able to work in the same facilities provided they test negative, people looking after loved ones should be afforded the same right.In his ruling, Brossard says he must abide by the presumption that the government is acting in the public interest with its COVID-19 health measures, despite serious concerns raised by the plaintiffs.Brossard says he hopes the epidemiological situation improves, allowing authorities to once again give all caregivers access to health-care establishments.He also suggests, “with goodwill,” that caregivers who are unvaccinated strictly due to personal choice should “calmly, but diligently” re-evaluate their decision and its impact on the people they’re looking after.
