Some, maybe a lot of them, will get infected, but will very likely, with some exceptions, do reasonably well in the sense of not having hospitalization and death,” Fauci said. “Those who have been vaccinated and vaccinated and boosted would get exposed. State officials will reevaluate Covid-19 metrics at the time of expiration to determine if an extension is necessary, according to the statement. Unless it is renewed, the public health emergency will expire after 30 days. The order will also allow New Jersey to adopt recommendations of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and maintain existing masking requirements in school and daycare settings. Specifically, it will help the state continue vaccine distribution efforts, vaccination or testing requirements in certain settings, Covid-19 data collection, staffing and resource allocation and other measures. The measure will help state agencies and departments to utilize resources to assist the state healthcare system and communities, but will not impact day-to-day life, according to Murphy. The state is currently registering nearly 35,000 new cases a day and more than 10,000 hospitalizations in the past two weeks, marking the highest numbers since spring 2020, the governor said in a video announcement. On Monday, Murphy said the state had more residents hospitalized since April 2020. “COVID-19 remains a significant threat to our State and we must commit every resource available to beating back the wave caused by the Omicron variant,” Murphy said in a statement. Quebec already requires proof of vaccination to eat in restaurants, go to the gym or attend sporting events and has had some of the most restrictive public health measures in North America, including a nighttime curfew that was reimposed for a second time during the pandemic last month. Protect yourself,” Christian Dubé, Quebec’s health minister, posted on Twitter after retweeting a newspaper story about the uptick in vaccination appointments. Thank you to everyone who decided to get vaccinated. “In just a few days, appointments for the 1st dose went from 1.5K per day to over 6K yesterday. Last week, Quebec announced that residents would now have to be vaccinated to buy alcohol or cannabis, and the health minister claimed on social media that vaccine appointments spiked as a result. Officials did not give a specific percentage of how many hospitalized Covid patients were unvaccinated.
Nearly a quarter of all Canadians live in Quebec, and while the province was one of the first in the country to introduce a vaccine passport, public health officials say the vast majority of patients in Quebec hospitals remain unvaccinated. The Quebec government says that while nearly 90% of eligible Quebecers have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, the unvaccinated remain a burden on the province’s public health system. The fine would not apply to those with a medical exemption, and no details have been announced, although the premier said the amount to be levied would be “significant.” “It’s a question also of fairness for the 90% of the population who made some sacrifices, and I think we owe them this kind of measure.” “Right now, these people, they put a very important burden on our health care network, and I think it’s normal that the majority of the population is asking that there be a consequence,” Quebec Premier François Legault said at a news conference Tuesday. On Monday, the mayor announced during a press conference that the District was creating six new testing centers dedicated to senior residents and an enhanced system for testing kits for young school children and staff. The mayor does reserve the right to extend the emergency if she feels it is necessary. The directive says that the emergency posturing will allow the city “to appropriately protect public health and provide the authority necessary to modify administrative procedures, deadlines and standards” while it is in place. Some hospitals are experiencing 25% staff out on Covid-related leave.” Hospitals cannot use all their bed capacity due to staff shortages.
“The physical capacity of hospitals remains strong, but emergency rooms are overwhelmed. “Notwithstanding the large number of persons vaccinated against Covid-19 in the District and the effectiveness of those vaccinations at preventing severe illness and death, stress on the District’s hospitals and healthcare providers has recently increased,” the order says.
