The chief health physician Dr. Kieran Moore said this week that those who test positive for COVID-19 no longer need to self-isolate for five days. Under the new guidelines, people should stay home until their fever is gone and their symptoms improve for at least 24 hours, but they should wear a mask “in any setting” for a full 10 days. Dr Fahad Razak, the scientific director for the table which is to be disbanded next week, says he disagrees with the province’s lifting of isolation requirements. Razak, a professor at the University of Toronto and a pathologist at St. Michael’s, says he favors stricter rules — including indoor coverage — as a way to limit the spread of COVID-19, which will help ease the burden on the health care system.
The board did not formally evaluate the decision, the principal says
Dr. Gerald Evans, a panel member who also teaches at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., says it’s too soon to lift the isolation rule, especially with school back in session and the expected fall and winter season with respiratory illnesses. . “This is no way to handle the pandemic at this point,” Evans said. “I think it’s driven by some very, very simplistic thinking.” Razak said the scientific panel did not formally assess the government’s decision to lift the isolation requirement and noted that the advisory group was not always consulted on pandemic measures. He said Ontario’s health care system, which is already under pressure, could be strained even more. “I see significant risk in the health care system and a wave that has not receded as much as we would like,” he said.
