We do what has been told to us.
If we any symptoms or temperature above 38 C, we are out of the building, we are not allowed to stay in this case We check our temperature every time we enter the building.
Yes, it is not perfect since you could have the virus with no symptoms, but it is the same for everybody since we only test people who have symptoms in Canada.
We also have a land ambulance system operated by our company, so the dispatch decide with our doctors what is the best way to transfer this patient.
You do have to transfer patients who are possibly positive but do not have their test result yet.
Everybody is aware, we don't minimize the potential risk and we know it is there.
Our system try to manage it, we do a lot of cleaning, like never before, office, keyboard, cockpit, everything.
I went to trough SARS 2002/2003, H1N1 2009, we never did so much.
We have been asked to be available any time when we are off to be able to provide the service.
