It was mid-December when some of Ontario’s top doctors publicly told reporters that COVID-19 is airborne.
For nearly two years public health officials in Canada have shied away from using that term to describe how the novel coronavirus is spread. Instead, the focus has been on preventing the spread of the virus via droplets.

On March 28, 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) tweeted out, “FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.”
For medical doctors and biomedical scientists (including me), this made sense. Few diseases were known to be airborne.
But to aerosol scientists, this was both puzzling and infuriating.
Over the next two years, the WHO and other organizations that had initially denied that the new coronavirus could stay in the air and move around like smoke quietly changed their stance.

Bluewater Health’s decision to pause all but urgent and emergent surgeries and procedures will remain in place until at least Jan. 26. Ontario announced Monday a provincewide delay, beginning Wednesday, on similar surgeries and procedures at all hospitals as part of a suite of measures to help curb the rapid rise of Omicron-variant COVID-19 cases. Bluewater Health independently implemented similar restrictions last week amid rising case counts and the resultant pressure on hospital resources.
Those restrictions will continue amid the provincial announcement, a spokesperson said.
