Ontario Health says after a "thorough investigation," it was discovered that COVID-19 test results from one provincial lab had not been reported to 12 local public health units where the cases reside.
"Patients who tested positive more than 14 days ago will also be contacted by public health units to enable contact tracing and case management. Many of the cases from more than 14 days ago would now be considered resolved," a statement released by Ontario Health read. "The provincial network has confirmed with all laboratories that there is a clear and documented understanding of who is informing local public health units to ensure timely case investigation and contact tracing," the statement read.
Speaking to CP24 on Monday night, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown said given how strained hospital resources are in the wake of the pandemic, it is no surprise that misakes were made.
'Thousands of covid-19 tests not done at all, for no reason' there, I fixed it for you. And guess what, still doesn't matter, positive cases or not we're still under lockdown unless protesting and rioting.
Where is the outraged Doug Ford? How more incompetent can we get?
Wow! Unbelievable jerks. What a sick system! Both OntarioHealth and OntarioPublicHealth are out of control, pompous, over paid bureaucracies that need a serious overhaul, starting with their 'do nothing' Ministers.
More incompetent 'heroes'.
Omg
Still on lockdown so it didn't hurt.....
