Closing an ER is a big deal, imho...if the ER is closed, other potential cases which might arise will have to be routed to different hospitals, and their ER's will have to close if it is confirmed...etc...

I don't know how Canada's system works, but we do get direct admissions from dr's offices...the closing of the ER means that potential patients might carry the pathogen to those in the dr's waiting room, his clerical staff, and to the dr himself in a small exam room...

Actually, this seems like a nightmare...
