Canada's doctors and nurses are demanding that the federal government do more to protect front line workers against COVID-19, calling a critical lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) "outrageous and unacceptable." "The toll that is paid for this uncertainty weighs heavily on health care workers across the country," he said. 'Lives are on the line'"Asking health care workers to be on the front lines of this pandemic without the proper equipment is unacceptable. Physicians and other front line health care workers have a call to duty. Dr. Alan Drummond of the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians also conveyed "disturbing" reports about shortages and rationing of protective equipment.
