We are Newfoundland and Labrador’s Physicians, Nurses and Allied Healthcare Professionals demanding the immediate closure of schools, ban on non-essential travel within Canada and abroad, as well as closure of all hospitals and healthcare facilities to anything but essential services. Simply put, without graphs or numbers, we (as medical experts) know we need to slow the spread of COVID-19 and prepare our hospitals NOW. Not tomorrow. Or the next day. To those who have the power to make these decisions, please hear us now before we are too entrenched in saving lives to be able to make this plea.
