“#Doug Ford’s latest coronavirus update: The second wave will ‘be worse than the first wave’ (Full transcript<\/a>)<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n ‘What we don\u2019t know yet is how bad the second wave will be … Together, our collective actions will decide if we face a wave or a tsunami,’ says the premier.\n <\/div>\n
\n These were Ontario Premier Doug Ford\u2019s opening remarks at a COVID-19 briefing on Sept. 28.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good afternoon. Over the past few weeks, we\u2019ve seen a sharp increase in the spread of COVID-19. Today\u2019s numbers, they\u2019re deeply concerning. And our health officials are telling us that Ontario is now in the second wave of COVID-19. We know that this wave will be more complicated, more complex, it\u2019ll be worse than the first wave we faced earlier this year. And we\u2019ve all played a critical role to play.<\/p>\n

Please follow the health guidance. Please download the COVID Alert app. Please get your flu shot this year. It\u2019s absolutely critical. If we can get everyone to take these simple steps, we can tip the scale, we can avoid the worst. Because we know that we\u2019re in the second wave. And we know that it\u2019ll be worse than the first wave. But what we don\u2019t know yet is how bad the second wave will be. The reality is it\u2019s up to each of us. Together, our collective actions will decide if we face a wave or a tsunami.<\/p>\n

My friends, this is extremely, extremely serious. Everything is on the table. We\u2019ve already taken countless steps to restrict gatherings, to address the hot spots. We\u2019ve been working around the clock. We\u2019ve been preparing all summer for exactly this situation. And that means strengthening our health-care system. It means adding more resources, adding more testing capacity and, most importantly, adding more boots on the ground.<\/p>\n

As we enter the second wave, getting more health-care workers\u2014more nurses, more personal support workers\u2014getting these folks in place will be absolutely critical, because our front-line heroes, they need reinforcements. That\u2019s why today we can share the details of our plan to recruit, retain and support over 3,700 more health-care workers and caregivers. We\u2019re getting thousands of health-care workers ready, thousands of health-care workers, nurses, PSWs that we can quickly deploy where they\u2019re needed most.<\/p>\n

In total, this plan will mean over $52 million to hire and train thousands of new health-care workers. We\u2019re adding 800 more nurses. We\u2019re adding 600 more acute-care nurses in hospitals and for long-term care homes. Two thousand more personal support workers. And we\u2019re giving recruits a $5,000 incentive to make a six-month commitment to work in long-term care and other settings with urgent needs. And that\u2019s going to be absolutely critical over the coming months. And we\u2019re investing another $14 million in the Personal Support Worker Training Fund to continue training more PSWs for long-term care homes and community care.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have more to say in the coming days about providing additional support for our great PSWs. But my friends, I\u2019m setting out a call today. We need more health-care professionals. Your province needs you right now. Whether you\u2019re a young person applying to college or university, or someone thinking about their next career, please consider joining the fight. All it takes is a few good men and women to give us the upper hand. And that can make all the difference in the entire world. Thank you, and god bless the people of Ontario.
