Saskatchewan Health Authority executive director Derek Miller says a committee will prepare its recommendation to move to triage’s next stage

Derek Miller, the authority’s executive director, says a committee made up of doctors and ethicists is set to prepare a formal recommendation to move to the second stage of triage.The province has been operating under the first stage for several months, which has involved cancelling surgeries to free up bed space and health-care workers.

Dr. Alexander Wong, an infectious disease physician in Regina, says the second stage involves doctors consulting with ethicists about who and who does not get live-saving care. Officials from the province’s emergency operations centre wouldn’t comment about when triage could start. The federal government is expected to send additional health-care workers to Saskatchewan next week and the province has already transferred some COVID-19 patients to Ontario.
