“We have changed as the health sector, as doctors, as nurses, respiratory therapists — we are all different”, he added. “We have improved in many ways, what we know were the inefficiencies in the health care system before the coronavirus. So, frankly, we’re more efficient now than they were before COVID. We have security measures in place that we didn’t have before COVID.”
