The medical officers of health for Toronto, Peel and Ottawa are urging the province to take further steps to protect their residents, saying the newly-applied “emergency brake” will not do enough to curb a new wave of virus spread in their regions.
In a letter dated April 4 to the province’s Dr. David Williams, doctors Eileen de Villa, Lawrence Loh and Vera Etches cite data provided by the province’s own science advisory table as reason for further action.
“A stay-at-home order issued by the province through an emergency order is necessary to prevent and mitigate large scale morbidity and mortality and irreparable strain on the healthcare system,” the co-signed letter says.
