Chender raps province's 'silence'
In a series of tweets Monday evening, Nova Scotia NDP Leader Claudia Chender chastised the province for its "silence" amid the respiratory illness surge.
"Nova Scotia is seeing a spike in respiratory illnesses and COVID," Chender said. "Families are worried. Parents know that their kids and their (kids') classmates have been sick, health care has been hard to access, medicine hard to find, & emergency rooms either closed or full to bursting.
"Meanwhile, silence from the Houston government. Where are the COVID and influenza vaccination campaigns? Why aren’t we hearing from Public Health? Does this government still believe in science?"
Chender said Tim Houston's government "needs to do their job. They need to give families clear information, access to health care, medical advice, and unfettered public health guidance. We need leadership, not silence." “
