Urgences Santé and the Montreal Fire Department have responded to an allegation made earlier this week by a former worker at the Donald Berman Maimonides Geriatric Centre in Côte St-Luc.
The worker, who Global News has agreed to not identify, said even after alerting his supervisors, little was done to enforce PPE protocol.“It was very shocking to me that there were so many staff there that just didn’t care,” said the worker, who was in charge of enforcing safety protocols. “The most backlash I got was from the first responders, from the firefighters, the ambulance (workers),” he added.According to Urgences Santé, 32 paramedics and staff have contracted the virus, but none are currently hospitalized and just a handful are still on.
