Paramedic Response

“Paramedics are proud to be on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. All Ontarians can feel confident every emergency medical call will be answered. Along with all our partners in healthcare, the province and municipalities, we are working for you to protect the health and wellbeing of every community we serve. Stay well.” – Neal Roberts, President, Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs; Chief, Middlesex-London Paramedic Service

The OAPC is working to keep paramedics in the field protected during COVID-19. We are collaborating with other healthcare professionals, reaching out to our government partners and making sure our members have the most up-to-date information, tools and resources they need to stay safe and healthy as they answer every call.

Have masks, ventilators or eye protection to help protect healthcare workers?
