Several B.C. hospitals and long term care facilities have seen a spike in COVID-19 cases recently according to the provincial health ministry, but these cases are not being named or reported publicly.

In a response to questions from CBC about COVID-19 outbreak declarations at acute care and long-term care facilities, the B.C. ministry of health confirmed that in some cases an outbreak is no longer reported even when there is a spike in cases due to spread at the hospital or care home.

Instead, "enhanced measures" are put in place without alerting the public.

More along that point, does a hospital admin who shirks basic human responsibility to report an outbreak to prevent negative media attention deserve

  • unemployment,
  • criminal sanctions,
  • public shaming, or
  • all three ?
