A Time of Fear is an in-depth look at the interventions of Canadian public health officials and policymakers during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his report, Mario Possamai chronicles the stories of front line health care workers, so many of whom were needlessly imperiled by decision-makers who failed to consider the lessons of the 2003 SARS outbreak.
Given the high infection rate among health care workers in Canada, the report offers a series of recommendations designed to help bolster occupational health and safety practices – and better protect frontline health care workers – as Canada enters a second wave of COVID-19.
