Canada's healthcare system 'very fragile', even as coronavirus recedes - official
The Peninsula
OTTAWA - Healthcare systems across Canada are still very fragile from efforts needed to fight COVID-19, even as signs suggest a fourth wave is starting to recede, a top medical official said on Friday.
Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam said it was important for health workers to get vaccinated and prevent hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.
"Everybody's exhausted. And if health care workers have to go into quarantine for example, after exposure, the system simply isn't going to be sustainable," she told a briefing. "Our health systems are still very fragile."
