The arrival and spread of COVID-19 led to rapid changes to all aspects of our society not the least of which our health care system and our economy. For provincial governments tasked with implementing many of these changes, dealing with the considerable uncertainty is challenging.
The New Brunswick Institute for Research, Data and Training (NB-IRDT) and the Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit (MSSU) developed a series of Rapid Response Reports to provide provincial government decision makers with information about the COVID-19 pandemic, its evolution, and the impact of different response strategies around the world.
The Rapid Response Report on Dedicated Resources for COVID-19 (April 8, 2020) examines evidence for the separation of health care resources during pandemic medical management including physical separation and policies to prevent overlap and exposure between point sources of care and health personnel.
