Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care Information Cycle

2400 h	Important Health Notice goes out providing status update and any new directions so everyone has it for the start of the day
0830 h	Video Conference with the Health Care Stakeholder Council (i.e., CMOH, EMU and professional associations, labour associations, regulatory colleges and regional offices)
1000 h	Executive Emergency Management Committee (EEMC) meeting to provide update on new information from overnight and pressing issues
1300 h	Public health teleconference with CMOH, PHD, LMOHs, and EMU
1500 h	Media Conference
