Having been a medical officer of health for Peel region, I am quite familiar with the circumstances in Brampton and the challenges with respect to health care access.
With respect to how the situation is being managed, I would defer to my provincial colleagues. Suffice it to say that I am having a conversation.
To give you a little bit of a flavour, as I said, in public health responding to outbreaks and emergencies is part of our role. I can tell you that in Toronto, in particular, we have moved into what we call the incident management structure, which is a very standardized approach to responding to emergency-type situations, to ensure that we are bringing enough resources to bear.
One of the functions, as we seek to respond to an emergency using this structure, is what we call a planning function, looking forward, trying to imagine where the situation will be in a few days, rather than just focusing on the emergency in front of us right now.
One of the issues for the city of Toronto, which we have been actively discussing, is that right now, as you said, the risk is low, and you're quite right, but what if the circumstances change? How would we manage that? What sorts of health care facilities might we need in order to address that? We're having those conversations here in Toronto. I have raised them with our provincial partners and our hospital partners as well, outside of Toronto, at least through the member association.
I don't have all the answers for you, but I do know that there are active conversations happening on that. There are multiple solutions that could be put into play, and they're actively being discussed.
