Ontario hospitals asked to further pandemic plans to preserve capacity

The Ontario government is "asking hospitals to further implement pandemic plans by carefully ramping down elective surgeries."

Minister of Health Christine Elliott issued a release Sunday, saying the move will allow hospitals to preserve capacity as cases of COVID-19 continue to grow in Ontario.

"...As hospitals move forward with the implementation of their pandemic plans and decisions on their operations, we are asking them to follow three guiding principles: use an ethical framework to guide decision-making, prevent high risk and occult transmission; and develop and preserve capacity within our system.”
