Monday marks last day for Manitoba mask mandate

The Start.“Maybe with the exception of pharmacies and a few independents.”As for customers, Graham suggested it may take a while for most people to feel comfortable shedding their masks in crowded stores.“What we saw in other provinces over the past couple of weeks is you start off with maybe 20 per cent not wearing masks, and within a couple of weeks, we see 50 per cent of customers not wearing masks.“But you’ll still see some customers — due to their personal situations — wearing masks, and really just evolving toward whatever the individual’s situation requires.” Nearly two years later, mask mandate in Manitoba schools coming to an end Manitoba's mask mandate ends on Tuesday. Are you ok with that? – Mackling, Megarry & McNabb— 680 CJOB (@680CJOB) March 14, 2022While masks are likely on the way out in most cases, Graham said he foresees other safety items like the plexiglass barriers you see in some stores to remain — at least for a while longer.“I expect it to remain for some time, really in part because we don’t know what future waves may bring us,” he said.“The overall belief of employers is they want to create a safer workplace for their employees.”Epidemiologist Cynthia Carr said masks have been proven to have an impact on reducing the odds of getting infected, especially as the pandemic has progressed and Manitobans have been moving toward higher-quality face coverings.“We do know that it has been difficult to get really solid studies in the beginning of this pandemic.

Health sector asks for Ontario budget investments beyond hospitals

Ontario’s next budget will set a roadmap for recovering from COVID-19, perhaps doubling as the Progressive Conservatives’ election platform, and many stakeholders are asking the government to shore up the health system by looking beyond hospitals.From hospitals, to long-term care, to laboratories, the health sector bore much of the brunt of the pandemic’s impact.The government pumped more than $5 billion into hospitals to add 3,100 beds since the start of the pandemic and the Ontario Hospital Association said those were welcome investments. Ontario COVID-19 numbers: Province reports 228 people in intensive care Now, to maintain financial stability for hospitals as they restart surgeries and procedures delayed by the pandemic and continue to manage other COVID-19 pressures, they require a 3.5 per cent increase in base operating funding, or $735 million, the OHA said in its pre-budget submission.In addition, the hospital association is seeking dedicated funding for reducing the surgery backlog, and continuing funding for additional beds that was committed over the past two years.The Progressive Conservative government is extending its own deadline for delivering the next budget to April 30, which is around when the campaign for the June 2 election will begin.A spokeswoman for Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy said he “understands the importance of investing in health care to create a more sustainable system in Ontario.”Contributing to the pressures in hospitals is the need for greater funding elsewhere, the OHA noted.
