Health Minister Eric Hoskins, an MD and the member for St. Paul’s, says the government has designated ten Ontario hospitals as referral hospitals for potential Ebola cases. Dr, Hoskins appeared this morning (Friday, October 17, 2014) at Toronto Western Hospital to make the announcement. He also said he has established a Minister’s Advisory Table for Ebola Prevention. It is intended to bring together experts who can assess the best information for executive action to prevent an Ebola outbreak. Testing for Ebola will begin in Ontario labs on October 20, he said. The ten hospitals are Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Hamilton Health Sciences, Health Sciences North, Hospital for Sick Children, Kingston General Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre, The Ottawa Hospital, St. Michael’s Hospital, Sunnybrook Hospital, and Toronto Western Hospital.
