[QUOTE="Lem23, post: 7948786, member: 7020671"] The way they're doing it on Ontario (or at least Toronto) is that if you go to the hospital for an emergency (non-emergencies aren't being dealt with, like routine surgery etc), you get tested before they admit you, and you have to wait while they get your results. I know, because I had to get tested then wait for most of the day (from 6am till about 4pm) before they'd admit me on saturday morning, then do emergency surgery on me sunday morning thanks to an infected kidney stone that was far too large to pass. The hospitals are allowing no visitors unless you have surgery, in which case you're allowed one visitor directly after surgery, and any single one of the checklist (with about a dozen points on it, not just fever / cough / foreign travel) stops you from getting allowed in. The nurses didn't have masks; this was pretty much the only way to protect them, and they were being put on smaller shift groups (3 nurses over night in urology as opposed to over half a dozen). They were combining some wards too so that they had a greater pool of nurses available for work if things go horribly wrong, and the fact that only emergency cases are being admitted helped keep down patient numbers so they have free beds if needed. If anything bad was about to happen, they had plans to move all of us to a different hospital for recovery to free the entre hospital up for CV cases only. [/QUOTE]
