IN TODAY'S UPDATE

It’s important to update your PPE needs!

It’s important to update your PPE needs! 

Having up-to-date information on your needs for personal protective equipment is crucial to the OMA’s efforts to improve access to PPE.
 
Some of you have already received PPE, so your needs have changed. We also understand that PPE may be available from several sources.
 
The OMA provides data from its PPE Inventory tool to partnering community drives so that they can match available supply with doctors in need. Your information must be current to ensure supplies are distributed equitably. Up-to-date information also supports ongoing advocacy efforts.
 
Please update the OMA PPE inventory tool regularly if you receive PPE – or at least once a week.

News & Announcements

This Doctors’ Day Ontario shines a light for you. 

May 1 is Doctors’ Day in Ontario! With it falling in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the OMA is initiating a special tribute called ‘Shine A Light For Them’. Ontarians can come together to celebrate the thousands of dedicated and selfless doctors. Support will be shown by turning on their phone flashlights and holding them high on May 1 at 9 p.m. to show their gratitude, appreciation and hope for the future. To get the word out we’re developing a social media campaign that you can help launch. Shareable content you can post to your social channels is available here doctorsday.ca. In addition, Ontarians will be encouraged to show their support for doctors by posting their appreciation to social media using the hashtags #DoctorsDay and #ShineALightForThem.

Tracking COVID-19 data 

The OMA has developed a dashboard to track COVID-19 cases in Ontario. It shows a time series of cases of health-care workers, LTC residents, cases originating in hospital and other applicable data.

Access the dashboard.

And, in response to member feedback, the OMA geography map of COVID-19 cases can now be adjusted by population. 

Access the map.
