Public health does not track health of recovered COVID-19 patients - News Summed Up

Public health does not track health of recovered COVID-19 patients


The Department of Health said it has no data on how many of the more than 300 recovered patients are still dealing with health issues. Dr. France Desrosiers, the vice-president of medical services at the Vitalité health network, said in a statement it "does not keep track of long-term health outcomes of patients who have recovered from COVID-19." CBC News first asked the Department of Health for data on recovered COVID-19 patients in June. Its role is tracing and containing the spread of the disease, a task that's distinct from measuring impacts in recovered patients. As of Monday morning, 339 New Brunswickers had recovered from COVID-19, according to Public Health.
