Hospitals across Canada are facing a resurgence of patients with COVID-19 that some health officials say will likely continue for another month.
Latest data from the Public Health Agency of Canada shows hospitalizations due to COVID-19 rose about 18 per cent across Canada between April 4 and April 11 — to 6,020 people needing beds from 5,109.
"No one in health care would support the 'let it rip approach,' but in terms of hospitalization capacity, we're not seeing the same strain in our ICU capacity as we did with and we should be able to manage," Lang said Monday. Earlier this month, Shahab said the bulk of hospitalizations in Saskatchewan were being driven by people who remained unvaccinated or who were vulnerable and hadn't received a booster shot.
"COVID-19 is not something that's going to go away and over time most of us are going to be exposed to Omicron."
