It appears residents in Thunder Bay and Kenora aren’t impressed with Ontario’s response to the COVID-19 crisis.
According to a survey conducted for the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, 54% polled in the two cities said they didn’t think the province planned properly to deal with the pandemic.
When asked whether the government should move long-term care residents ill with COVID-19 symptoms to hospital, to protect the other residents, more than twice as many said yes as those that said no.
88.5 per cent of respondents in Thunder Bay and 87.5 per cent in Kenora think all hospital patients and staff should be tested for the virus.
More than 2,000 people were polled earlier this spring.
