Saskatchewan health officials consider next stage of COVID-19 triage
Derek Miller, the authority’s chief of emergency operations, said 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 to focus on COVID cases.
Data from the health authority for this month shows Saskatchewan had the most residents in intensive care units per capita than any other province at any point in the pandemic. “Until those public health measures are going to be put into place, unfortunately, this is just going to drag on and on.” “What I’m recommending, and the government needs to look at that — apply to all settings,” including places of worship and other gatherings, Shahab said.
Wong said it makes no sense that Saskatchewan is flying patients out of its jurisdiction while not imposing gathering limits.
