“You can’t be putting the responsibility for basic measures to protect people with disabilities and chronic disease on them when a very minor... accommodation can be just kept in place.” abhealth

A Calgary-based doctor is planning to go to court to prevent Alberta Health Services from dropping its continuous masking policy.

AHS said “patients are encouraged to have conversations with their care providers regarding masking, hand hygiene, or other factors that patients feel are important to their care.” “I don’t know if people really understand the power differential that’s there between health care providers who are well and patients who are sick,” Keegan said. “And I’ve lived that and walked that path.“You can’t be putting the responsibility for basic measures to protect people with disabilities and chronic disease… on them when a very minor, reasonable, easy-to-do accommodation can be just kept in place.”, patients hospitalized with COVID-19 primarily were infected in the community.

Heather Smith said the change in policy “does not in any way remove obligations for workers to be safe, to ensure their patients, residents, clients are to be safe and that they must wear appropriate PPE to match the situation.”Smith pointed to the latest data release on the pandemic in Alberta that showed 352 people were in hospitals with COVID, across all AHS zones.
