MONTREAL—Quebec nurses and orderlies are pleading for time off this summer, ahead of a possible second wave of coronavirus infections in the fall, as Canada’s hardest-hit province from the virus wrestles with a staffing crunch in its health sector.
Bone-weary staff have been waving placards with messages like “dead tired,” at protests this week, as Quebec Premier Francois Legault says the province is short 10,000 healthcare workers. More protesters are expected to rally on Friday.
