COVID-19 Town Hall
The Government of Ontario declared an emergency under s 7.0.1 (1) the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act
• The Ministry of Health Emergency Operations Centre issued: Directive # 2 for Health Care Providers.
• The Directive stopped all in-person non-essential health service to reduce viral spread and consolidate healthcare to where it was needed.
![Page 12: COVID-19 Town Hall - Caslpo...May-20 16 COVID-19 Town Hall Directive # 2 Principles: 3. Equity.

On May 26th 2020, the Chief Medical Officer of Health revoked the March 19th Directive 2 and replaced it with a new Directive # 2 which provides instruction on the gradual restart of in-person non-essential services.
![Page 13: COVID-19 Town Hall - Caslpo...May-20 16 COVID-19 Town Hall Directive # 2 Principles: 3. Equity. Equity requires that all persons with the same clinical needs should be treated in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042410/5f287f44dc0ba2280c75ada4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13May-20
The Ministry’s view is that restart of in-person non-essential care should be gradual and phased-in only when all appropriate safety and infection prevention and control precautions are in place.
Health Care Providers must understand that they have to adjust to the “New Normal”. This is not business as usual.

Directive # 2 Principles:
1. Proportionality. Decision to restart services should be proportionate to the real or anticipated capacities to provide those services.
2. Minimizing Harm to Patients. Decisions should strive to limit harm to patients wherever possible. This requires considering the differential benefits and burdens to patients as well as available alternatives.

Equity requires that all persons with the same clinical needs should be treated in the](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042410/5f287f44dc0ba2280c75ada4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

COVID-19 Town Hall
Directive # 2 Principles:
3. Equity. Equity requires that all persons with the same clinical needs should be treated in the same way unless relevant differencesexist (e.g. different levels of clinical urgency). Special attention is paid to actions that might further disadvantage the disadvantaged or vulnerable.
4. Reciprocity. Certain patients and patient populations will be particularly burdened as a result of our health system’s limited capacity to restart services. Those who continue to be burdened should have their health monitored, receive appropriate care, and be re-evaluated for emergent activities should they require them.
