Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé announced Tuesday that due to concerns over staffing as the Omicron COVID-19 variant surges in the province, a change was being made to allow health-care and essential workers to be able to work even if they tested positive. He said decisions on who can work will be made on a case-by-case basis.
The health minister said that about 7,000 health-care workers were absent due to COVID-19 and that number could jump to 10,000 in the coming days and those staffing issues could further strain the health-care system. The province saw hospitalizations top 702, with 115 in intensive care units.
The province’s health ministry later in a press release provided clarification that the isolation period for health workers who test positive could be shortened depending on the type of exposure, results of lab tests and the person’s vaccination status.
Dubé also announced boosters would begin rolling out progressively to those age 18 and older starting Jan. 4, 2022.

After this I hope everyone understands why they should never get the Jab or boosters , the leaders don't stick to their own Mandates, they are messed up in the Head.
Well that makes sense, fire the ones for not complying to be in an experimental vaccine trial but ones that test positive for Covid can work, lol
what a joke….you sheep betting played
100% proof the jab is whats making people sick.
I'm my area the CT value for PCR testing is set at 41. "Any test with a cycle threshold above 35 is too sensitive", agreed Juliet Morrison, a virologist at the University of California, Riverside. “I’m shocked that people would think that 40 could represent a positive,” she said.
I think Omicron should hold a press conference to warn us about the dangers of politicians!

This means the health care system is broken and cant function anymore… we are screwed
These Tyrants have NO SCIENCE to stand on. None!
want to wake up from the matrix, in private at home repent your sins to Jesus and work on turning from them all and God will answer you and let you know you are saved and going to heaven don't fall for the lies of this world were living in the end times because the world rejects this simple truth. Jesus is real, not a religion but a relationship make sure you get saved God loves you and will answer your prayer letting you know it's REAL:)
Stay positive!

'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" – I won't worry!

Is there a vaccine that will protect us from the politicians and unelected health experts
this government is so trash/incompetent, political views aside.
Criss les immigrés dans leurs pays
Headless politicians…I think when they were babies they drank BPA baby bottles.
A better name for vax passes would be 'virus passes' essentially it does just that, allows people infected to roam freely.
Crapaganda-19
Moi ce que j pense c que la grippe ça se transmet pas juste com ça,c vrai que y a trop d gens pas normaux qui se fréquentent ou de façons pas normal depuis un boute(while),c de là que vient la conspiration,on va pas dire de où encore ça vient,alors si c pas pour des gens qui habitent sous le même toit ce que vous faites ça change pas grand chose,peut être pour à un certain moment donné passé,ou pour des vrai mesures de vaccinés qui feraient vraiment pas attention,qui font les variantes et non par des mesures organisés pour une campagne de vaccination.
Bla Bla Bla Liers
I finally got cured from HSV. Reach out to Dr Edozele on YouTube, he has the permanent cure for herpes simplex virus!!!
Wait. I’m to confused. Wth are they doing?
If your vaccinated and have covid you can work but if your unvaccinated and don’t hav covid your fired
7.5 million defiant in Canada
Start a class action x 7.5 million people …
Each person donates $100 to the fund ;
Thats a $ 750,000,000 legal fund.
Obviously should not have fired all those nurses and other healthcare workers. This is all just getting totally ridiculous and unbelievable. Couldn't they have foreseen this happening I just can't believe this.
They could have kept those nurses in the past that had gotten covid and then had natural immunity and kept them on instead of hiring back people that have the virus and are working within the facilities now. Just imagine how many nurses they fired that had natural immunity because they had already had the virus
time to vote these clowns nazi out of government
Quarantine of asymptomatic people just for testing positive has ALWAYS been an UNSCIENTIFIC fear-based measure that's nothing but a self-inflicted wound. Better admit the mistake than keep banging your head on the wall. Not only healthcare workers – EVERYONE. At the rate of this spread, if you keep quarantining healthy people for testing positive, all sectors will collapse.
Bunche of clowns. At the same time, they shut down restaurants and cinemas dooming them to bankruptcy without even knowing if they are the cause for the spreading.
The COVID crisis will stop the day we will fire these corrupted, incapable politicians.
Britian should have kicked ya out when they had the chance.
Leave it to a politician to fk things up?!!!!
To those who applauded the firing of unvaxxed Negative test workers they should feel much safer working with or being helped by a vaxxed Positive person right?
Lmfao!!! Get the jab or your fired!!! However if you have covid come on in to work!!!
The nutjobs are running the loony bin
The government thinks they are the mafia these days get your shot or death is coming sheesh
I think it's hilarious lol I can't go into an unessential service without Covid but it's okay to work in a hospital. My uncle just died and I wasn't even allowed to visit him in hospital. I'm not even sick . This is truly disgusting.
around here the hospitals are packed to the brim with elders that have cardiac issues. the corridors are lined with them. demographic shock.
Ok so no one needs vaxx and we can all work while positive too !
He sounds sick . Or maybe should stop smoking
Covid sucks
It didn’t have to get to this point why wait so long to get lockdowns and when it’s going to be lifted make sure that you all focus on the kids and put the kids 1st don’t let them down again and let them know that they are not forgotten about and they are not going to be put aside. And until the kids are safely in routines at school than you can lift restrictions on selfish adult social society so don’t make the same mistakes or else this cycle of sickness is never going to end ! Fed up mother with a toddler born into the Covid world and it’s so much harder with no support and not being able to buy baby essential stuff that’s listed non essential.
Who the hell wants to go to hospitals that are infested anyways! Close the hospitals and clean them up and reboot them as they are totally overwhelmed and not good to anybody.
Now these dummies are asking positive Covid workers to keep working! Maybe they shouldn’t have mandated the vaccine and they would have workers! The whole reason for mandating was to keep people safe from the virus 🦠 now your not keeping people safe from the virus because the infected staff can work! I’m just trying to make sense of it all because I left the hospital after working there 14 years! But it’s exactly what they deserve short sick staff ! And then you have another set of dummies saying “I only want the vaccinated taking care of me” well now you got them and they’re infected! It was cute and funny at first but now it’s getting serious 🧐, ! You can’t get anything done without the unvaccinated so let them make there own decisions about getting 4 vaccines in a year! 4 vaccines and still infected? Wow smh 🤦♀️ you can’t make this up! Lol
