Like most public health units, we do have obligations. Let me speak to the Ontario context. I'll start there. In the Ontario context, we have something called the Ontario public health standards. All local public health departments are expected to adhere to those standards. One of those standards includes having emergency preparedness and response plans for all kinds of emergencies and all kinds of health hazards. As a local public health unit, we do indeed have an emergency response plan to deal with these kinds of situations.
I think the other important point to note is that it is within the regular work of public health to respond to infectious disease so as to mitigate the risk or the negative impact associated with infectious diseases. This is part and parcel of our work. It is what we do on a daily basis. Novel coronavirus is a new infectious disease for us.
