Hello, thank you for the question. I see that you're in Manitoba. Is your aunt in the ICU? Which hospital? Don't give me any names though, please.
Ulysses101, Expert
I see. What has the hospital told your aunt? How can I help?
Ulysses101, Expert
I'm not surprised. The hospital's visiting policy is within its own discretion, especially since provinces have declared a state of medical emergency which allows the normal rules of "reasonable" to be bent. Unless your aunt has a medical reason why she can't be vaccinated, she should be. Her husband in the hospital should be vaccinated but if he can't be then the hospital is allowed to restrict visitors. It's ugly when there's a covid outbreak at a hospital.
Without a court order allowing entry, there's little your Aunt can do about it, other than ask the Hospital what accommodations they can make. It doesn't appear that they can meet outside. Perhaps in an ambulance off site? That will depend on his condition, of course.
If you're asking me about any way to insist on a visit, there isn't one I'm afraid. Does that make sense?
Ulysses101, Expert
I'm here to discuss this further, or if you have more information to provide that will allow me to assist you further.
Ulysses101, Expert
You're swimming against the tide if you want to argue that the vaccination agenda isn't in the public interest, of course.

This is the law.

The province has declared a State of Emergency, so it can make orders without the usual process of going through the provincial legislature. While it might be unconstitutional, that challenge will take a long time and in my opinion isn't likely to succeed.

Maybe your aunt could get a doctor to put in a letter that your Aunt is an essential care partner or something like that? https://sharedhealthmb.ca/wp-content/uploads/covid-19-inpatient-visit-principles.pdf
Ulysses101, Expert
Try the Essential Care Partner route, I think they'd have to admit her in that case.

You're welcome, and good luck. I hope I've helped.

My pleasure. My best to your Aunt.
