Ontario’s Health Minister Christine Elliott admits they’ve heard from some health care workers they are in need of more personal protective equipment like masks and gloves.
Elliott notes they have heard from several areas that they are running short of supplies.
“We were providing them with supplies as soon as we heard about their needs. We are dealing, I think it’s fair to say, in an international competition for personal protective equipment, but we are receiving our supplies in,” Elliott said.
The Health Minister continues to work with companies in the province to help ramp up the production of protective equipment.
