Ottawa’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Vera Etches says the city needs to find a more balanced approach regarding COVID-19 and learn to coexist with the virus.
“I have written to the mayor describing the need for a new approach to the pandemic response, for the sake of the population’s health. We need to be learning to live with COVID, to coexist with COVID, with caution,” Etches said during a Board of Health meeting on Nov. 2.
