involves thousands of construction, production and supply jobs, as well
as billions of dollars in revenue for the provincial government.

Spike in Ontario teachers seeking medical exemptions from work amid COVID-19 pandemic | CBC News: Family physicians are “increasingly” getting the requests,
including many from teachers, said Dr. Jennifer Young, president of the
OCFP.

“The guidance is if you have a chronic disease that is
severe, a chronic disease that’s not well controlled, a chronic disease
that requires immuno-suppressants … the severity of the disease
requires more than average accommodation,” Young said.

That
could mean requests for an in-class work exemption or other
accommodations for someone with severe asthma or chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, for instance, or patients taking drugs that suppress
their immune system for a variety of conditions ranging from cancer to
inflammatory bowel disease.

“We have educators who were able to
work in a classroom pre-pandemic, but have underlying conditions that
now make being in that face-to-face situation too great a risk,” said
Harvey Bischof, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers
Federation (OSSTF).
