> CLARIFICATION

A May 5 article about COVID-19 outbreaks at Toronto Western Hospital stated in its opening sentence that an “urgent” directive caused "confusion for medical residents who failed to report for duty." Though the article later explained these absences were due to a miscommunication that was not the fault of the residents, this explanation should have been stated higher in the article and more precise phrasing should have been used to avoid any suggestion the medical residents may have been negligent in their duties.
