Ontario reports two day total of 1145 new Covid cases for Sept 6 & 7 … and the doctor will not see you now

Long weekend undercount I suspect.


Patients frustrated, concerned as some Ontario doctors slow to return to in-person appointments

Michelle Sadowski says she’s fed up talking to her one-year-old son’s pediatrician over the phone about his persistent cough and cold symptoms.

Because of COVID-19 restrictions at the clinic, they’ve not been allowed to see his doctor in-person for months, said Sadowski, a fully vaccinated Toronto resident who works from home. She’s been told it’s too risky, even if she and her son Avery get cleared with a negative COVID-19 test result.

After half a dozen phone-call appointments, she ended up taking him to St. Joseph’s Health Centre’s kids clinic at the end of July. After a two-hour wait there, doctors did a full examination and determined he had a double ear infection.
