This after patients complain doctors are still booking phone appointments

Ontario’s doctors are being pressured to shift back to in person care and to start scrapping the virtual visits.

Health officials have sent a letter to physicians after receiving complaints from patients their doctors have yet to resume face to face visits.

The letter from the chief medical officer of health, the deputy health minister and the College of Physicians and Surgeons says due to high vaccination rates and readily available PPE, COVID-19 should no longer pose a barrier.
