@DocMCohen @ONThealth The updated link also includes the advice to “keep rapid tests on hand” so this suggests that people who are eligible can pick up tests BEFORE they are sick. Doctors and pharmacies should honor this common sense guidance.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@Kidsdoc1Rick @DrGorfinkel It was just updated in the last couple of days. The message about “temporary inventory constraint” has been removed and it allows you to place an order. I have not tried to order yet as my office has enough supply, but the email also states we can now order from this source.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@Kidsdoc1Rick @DrGorfinkel You can order them through the provincial portal. https://t.co/J5f5F2gM5v

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@KashPrime Yes.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@BogochIsaac Can you please clarify point 4 “little impact on hospitals” given the PHO summary showing a hospital occupancy rate 3 times that of Influenza?

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@raghu_venugopal Timeline of the response. Too little. Too late.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

A timeline of Ontario’s response to this surge. Too little, too late.
Aug 6- cases rising
Sept 14 - Dr. Moore “if we are not seeing good uptake you will hear me ringing the bells”
Oct - vaccine rollout
Dec 9th - Dr. Moore issues “a call to action, a call to arms” as uptake low

@OntarioCollege Thank you!

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@HPPublicHealth And when you are no longer in isolation, follow these guidelines to avoid transmission to others.

@Kidsdoc1Rick @Sue_Innovates @ONThealth @SabiVM @DaliaHasanMD @YoniFreedhoff @Billius27 My local PHU refers back to the provincial booking line. And I don’t actually need to book an appointment for anyone in this age group. I just think they need to update it as they are 2 weeks out of date and giving incorrect information.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@ONThealth @SabiVM @DaliaHasanMD @YoniFreedhoff @FourWinns29 @Billius27 The Ont vaccine booking portal is using the Sept 14th document not the Sept 22nd version 8.0. So, they are saying 6mo-4yr are not eligible for an updated vaccine. They referred me to this feedback page.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

The version that has been updated since then (Sept 22nd).

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

The document they are currently referring to.

@HPPublicHealth And then, as you will very likely still be contagious, follow the rest of the guidance below to keep others safe.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@McDevonMD @Sue_Innovates @DurhamHealth And I don’t believe you can book with the shortened interval through the online portal but you can if you call the booking line. At least this was the case in the spring.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@HPPublicHealth And, importantly, once you are no longer staying at home, ensure you do the following things to ensure you don’t spread illness to others.

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@EricTopol @ColinDormuth @UBC What about reducing risk of Long Covid?

[Gillian Antoniadis @g_edmonds]

@ONThealth Also, avoid Covid.

@ONThealth @ONgov @SeniorsON @ChildrenON @OntarioHealthOH @ONeducation @ONlongtermcare Your link, updated Sept 14, 2023, advises wearing a tight fitting, well constructed mask in all public settings once your symptoms are improving and you are no longer isolating at home. This is recommended for 10 days after the start of symptoms. Please add this to your tweet.
