People may not want to hear about another pandemic right now, Moore acknowledged, but it is important in the long term.
“I was on the expert panel of SARS-1 in 2004 and saw the enthusiasm of government to create Public Health Ontario, to improve our responsiveness, but then the interest faded relatively quickly, within three to five years,” he said in an interview.
Among the priorities highlighted in Moore’s report are to strengthen testing, surveillance and data systems.During the pandemic, some progress was made to integrate vaccination and case and contact management data, but the resulting system — COVAX — can only be used for COVID-19, the report said. It couldn’t be adapted for mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, when it emerged last year.
“The next piece is having the electronic data from laboratory testing feed into our case and contact management system and that is progressing well,” he said. “As a result, public health agencies had to use labour-intensive manual processes to assess the number of individuals with COVID-19 who had been hospitalized, were in the intensive care unit, or had died due to COVID-19.”Article content
