Minister knew about Covid-19 dangers well ahead of government action

A transcript, released Sunday night, indicates Ontario’s Long-Term Care Minister knew about the dangers of Covid-19 long before the Conservative government declared a pandemic.  The transcript from the province’s Long-Term Care Commission shows that the Minister, Merrilee Fullerton, who is a family doctor, and her Deputy advocated for stronger and earlier measures than the government was willing to implement. Fullerton’s notes show she was concerned about asymptomatic spread as early as February 5^th of last year.
