“Directive 5” is the government’s rules about COVID-19 and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health-care staff that hospitals and long-term care homes must follow. Unions have recently sued the government to force it to increase the protections for workers. To resolve this court action, the government agreed to make changes to Directive 5. These changes mean that hospitals and long-term care homes will have to give workers clearer access to better protections when they are dealing with patients or residents who may have COVID-19.
