Province offers answers to coverage questions

摘要

Nova Scotia health care workers responding to pandemics and other public health emergencies no longer need to worry about workers' comp coverage. With a view to facilitating labour mobility that can help bolster pandemic preparedness, the Nova Scotia government and seven unions signed a "Good Neighbour Protocol" last October. The agreement "confirms how health human resources will be shared across the province and how health care providers will be compensated and protected while responding to an emergency that impacts the health care system," reports Nova Scotia's Department of Health.
