Easy to say that until people are dying because you fired desperately needed healthcare workers.

Across Canada they changed the rules and now Covid positive healthcare workers can now have direct patient interactions.

Apparently they can fire people who won't get vaccinated, but are willing to have Covid-positive doctors treat patients?

Something doesn't line up. Apparently being unvaccinated is higher risk than actually having Covid?

What you said is not what the link says.it specifically says in appropriate places with appropriate protection when it is aympotomatic. You are projecting here. Nowhere does it say direct patient interaction.. in fact it says the opposite that healthcare workers who are sick (whether of covid or something else) should not be near patients.

The Health Ministry confirmed in an email that it is possible for workers who test positive to be asked back to work, even if they have symptoms, but only in cases of "persistent compromise of access to services" and when all other options have been exhausted.
