Ontario’s top doctor fears rising COVID-19 cases and the approach of winter could further jeopardize the province’s struggling health-care system, forcing the Ford government to potentially re-implement a mandatory masking policy if the situation worsens.
In an interview with Global News, Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario’s medical officer of health, urged people to get vaccines, boosters and wear a mask to avoid an unmanageable surge in hospital admissions.
He said the rate of uptake for fourth doses by Ontarians aged 70 and older — around 16 per cent — was “not acceptable” and said public health measures like mandatory masking could return “if necessary.”
“Sixteen per cent is absolutely not acceptable to me,” he said, urging people to book an appointment.
While a return to mandatory masking is not yet being recommended, Moore called on people to consider wearing masks indoors as cases rise and said he would not hesitate to recommend a stronger measure if necessary.
“If there is any significant impact on our health system where we can’t care for Ontarians appropriately, I will absolutely have the conversation with government (around) whether we have to mandate masking for a set period of time,” Moore told Global News.

FOAD Jerk!
this clown looks like a WEF stooge
They say don’t judge a book by its cover. Well......
Sorry, it looks like a Power Hungry Little Faggot! Only 16% of over 70 getting boosted. Maybe they are FINALLY getting a clue. I agreed FOAD DR. Death!
go to hell
how does he suck **** with a mask on?
He popped up on the gaydar.
Go ahead.
You can have mine.
Wearing a mask to stop a virus is as dumb as putting a chain link fence around your house to keep the mosquitos out.
CanaDUH, DOH CanaDUH! 🚫😷💉💊
Give it a rest, it has mutated to a nothing, these fear tactics will not work a second time.
I’m in Michigan, which is just west of Ontario. The Michigan statistics indicate absolutely no evidence of a fall outbreak, and virtually no-one dies of it anymore. This is bullshit.

Like Paul Krugman, he just can’t give up being wrong.
FOAD medical nazi...
Go suck a rock you POS!
Interesting... back in July, he actually seemed reasonable as he acknowledged that there were heart-inflammation risks, especially for young people.
“We know that for an 18-year old, the risk of being hospitalized, if you have no underlying medical illness, is very, very low,” Dr. Kieran Moore said on Wednesday.
Some would say that CO ID is just another cold virus like most coronaviruses. If my suspicions are correct and our government perpetrated a hoax on Americans in pushing of power and wealth then they must face trial and just punishment.
Get a room with Fauci. He will appreciate your suggestions.
