Report concludes with calls for substantial health-care restructuring and investment.
TORONTO — A new study finds long COVID significantly increased doctor visits, home-care needs and hospitalizations for a small proportion of Ontarians infected early in the pandemic.
The study, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, looked at the health-care usage of 531,702 Ontario residents who took PCR tests between Jan. 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021. Even though one per cent is a small proportion, this subset's outsized demand for increased medical attention has strained resources that have only become more scarce this year, McNaughton says.
According to the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, the more infectious Omicron variants sent cases soaring through much of 2022 to infect 62 per cent of Canadians by September — up from just five per cent in August 2021 before the Delta wave. She says the study’s findings also make a good argument for a return of indoor mask mandates, especially as flu season also approaches.
