An investigation has been launched into a Toronto doctor and two more have had further restrictions imposed on their licences due to alleged COVID-19-related misconduct in the past 24 hours, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) has confirmed.
Global News has learned that Dr. Ira Bernstein, a family doctor who co-founded the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA), which has spawned a telehealth service offering ivermectin to Ontarians, is being investigated by the CPSO.
Bernstein was one of several physicians highlighted in a recent Global News investigation about a web of Canadian doctors promoting unverified medical information on COVID-19 treatments and some doctors who are alleged to have issued false medical exemptions.
A CPSO spokesperson confirmed to Global News that an investigation into Bernstein was launched on Friday.
“Although we are limited under the Regulated Health Professions Act from disclosing further details, we can confirm Dr Ira Bernstein is under investigation by the College,” a CPSO spokesperson said.
Bernstein joins the ranks of more than 40 Ontario doctors now being investigated for alleged COVID-related misconduct.
He did not respond to attempts to contact him from Global News.
On Thursday, restrictions were placed on the licences of two more doctors by the CPSO for issues related to COVID.
