WINNIPEG, Manitoba/TORONTO - The arrival of a new, sometimes deadly strain of coronavirus to just outside Canada’s borders has health officials determined not to repeat the country’s stumbling response to the SARS epidemic 17 years ago.
There have been no confirmed new coronavirus cases in Canada, but “five or six” are under investigation, Canadian Health Minister Patty Hajdu said. The Ontario government said doctors are now required to report suspected or confirmed cases of the new virus to local public health units. The SARS outbreak led to a rare travel warning for Toronto from the World Health Organization. As a result, tourists aborted trips and conventions were canceled, at a cost to Canada of C$1.5 billion in gross domestic product, according to the Conference Board of Canada think tank.
Systems are in place for handling samples from patients suspected of being infected and for communication with other health agencies.But preparations this month have been uneven in hospitals across Ontario, said Vicki McKenna, president of the Ontario Nurses’ Association.
