Experts say action needed to keep COVID-19 4th wave under control

The fourth wave of COVID-19 is impacting many parts of Canada and medical professionals are warning that if action isn't taken soon, the country could deal with a worse situation than it has seen in the previous three waves of the novel coronavirus.

In Alberta, its Health Services is invoking emergency staffing measures with a shortage of doctors and nurses and COVID-19 hospitalizations rising. Experts in that province say the cases could rise past 5,000 a day. By contrast, in B.C., when cases took off in Kelowna the province's top doctor brought back a mask mandate which may have helped moderate the virus but modelling still does project cases potentially in the thousands.
