Registered Nurses 'Association of Ontario (RNAO) yati kuthekera kwa chigawo chothana ndi kufalikira kwa matenda pamene tikulowa m'miyezi yozizira kukutchova njuga ndi dongosolo lotsegulanso lomwe limakweza malire kuyambira Lolemba, Oct. 25, ndikuthetsa njira zaumoyo wa anthu - kuphatikiza kufunikira kwa umboni wa katemera - koyambirira kwa Januware.
RNAO ilinso ndi nkhawa kwambiri kuti boma lidasankha kusalengeza katemera wovomerezeka kwa onse ogwira ntchito yazaumoyo m'magawo onse ndi makonda. Lamuloli liri kale kwa omwe akugwira ntchito yosamalira nthawi yayitali, ndi nthawi yomaliza kuti azitsatira ndi Nov. 15. Zipatala zambiri zachipatala zikuchita chimodzimodzi. Komabe, njira iyi yotsata ndondomeko ya boma la Ford imasiya odwala ndi ogwira ntchito m'zipatala zambiri, chisamaliro chapakhomo ndi malo ena ammudzi pa chiopsezo chowonjezereka ngati ogwira ntchito osatemera asiya malo amodzi omwe ali ndi zofunikira zochepa.
Kufuna kuti onse ogwira ntchito zachipatala ndi maphunziro alandire katemera wokwanira ndi mfundo yozikidwa pa umboni, womwe unayitanidwa koyamba ndi RNAO mu Julayi 2021, ndipo posachedwapa mothandizidwa ndi Science Table ya boma. Kunyalanyaza malangizo oterowo kumatsutsana ndi malingaliro, ndi kusasamala komanso kusokoneza chisamaliro cha odwala ndi chitetezo cha ogwira ntchito.
RNAO ikulimbikitsa anthu kuti apitilize kusaina Action Alert yomwe ikufuna kuti Premier Ford iwonjezere katemera wovomerezeka kwa onse ogwira ntchito zachipatala ndi maphunziro ndikukhazikitsa madera otetezeka kuzungulira malo awo antchito. Bungweli likunena kuti izi ndi njira zofunika kuti tithane ndi COVID-19.
ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:
- Requiring all health-care and education workers to be fully vaccinated is a policy based on evidence, first called for by RNAO in July 2021, and recently supported by the government’s own Science Table.
- However, this patchwork approach to policy by the Ford government leaves patients and staff in most hospitals, home care and other community settings at an even higher vulnerability rate if unvaccinated staff leave one setting for another that has more lenient requirements.
- RNAO is also gravely concerned the government chose not to announce mandatory vaccination for all health-care workers in all sectors and settings.
