We want you to know that WeRPN is working closely with the Ontario Ministry of Health, Public Health Ontario and other health partners to monitor the latest updates on the Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). We are currently participating in daily calls with the Ministry’s Emergency Operations Centre and receiving
regular updates as the Ministry works to develop resources to support nurses and other health professionals. As a member of WeRPN, we want to ensure you have access to the most relevant information to ensure your safety and the safety of your patients, clients and residents. That is why we have created a dedicated webpage where you can learn more about the coronavirus, get updates on current status of cases in Ontario and access key resources. You can also access the lastest public information on the Ministry of Health website
Daily Reports for Health Care Professionals The Ministry has authorized us to share daily reports prepared by the Emergency Operations Centre with our members. You can access** these reports by logging into the WeRPN Members Only Section and clicking What’s New.
**Please note, these reports are intended for health professionals only and we request that you not share this with the public.
Key Resources The Ministry is working on a series guidance documents for health professionals. The first document was released yesterday, focused on primary care providers. Access it
here. As always, we will continue to advocate for our members and call on the government to take the necessary steps to support the safety of patients, healthcare professionals and the public. Over the coming days and weeks, we will continue to keep our members updated as more information becomes available.
