COVID Update
Covid 19 and OHMRA Updates
Hello Everyone,
First let me say, I hope all our members and their families are doing well during this Public Health Emergency known as Covid-19.
OHMRA has been contacted by some members, who were sourcing equipment and services, as well as looking for consultation on equipment choices and protocols.
I would ask all members to continue sharing or searching for information on Covid-19 response, using our various What’s App applications or emailing any of our Executives and Branch Officers.
We will do our best to support you during these tough times.
Please note:
As the current emergency is very fluid, we will continue to make the necessary changes as required.
Please EVERYONE stay safe, and let's all work together to resolve this Covid-19 situation.
Rick Brown
