My mother was just in the hospital in Ontario (myocarditis) and she was allowed her caregiver and her spouse as visitors. It was impossible to get past the receptionist to even get in to see her if you weren't on the list - they kept the doors locked to her floor. Luckily I was designated as her caregiver because I was taking her to her doctor's appointments for the last 2 years.
Can you get someone designated as his caregiver? You have to use the proper term when you call the hospital. They would have to sneak the ivermectin - the patient and family has no say, from my experience. In the hospital your friend will also have rotating doctors, so you may get help from one but not another. My mother had 5 different doctors in her 6 days in the hospital.
Another thing - after my mom was brought to the ER the hospital would not let my father or anyone see her at all. She was brought in by ambulance. My father tried several times but was denied entry. I went and told the ER triage nurse that my mom's ER nurse had called and told me to come right away - and they actually let me in!
In my case my father just had tell the front desk (the person you call to schedule a visit or book appointments) at the hospital that I was the caregiver. He told them that neither he nor my mom were mentally equipped to understand the doctors (they are, he just told them that so I could take my mom to her doctor's appointments and ask questions).
Without a contact in Sudbury I don't know what you could do, though. First you have to figure out who could go see him as his caregiver, then you could try just calling the hospital and explaining that that person is his caregiver. You could have the Priest tell the hospital admin, as well, once you get ahold of the priest.
I wish you the best of luck and pray that you can contact the priest.

So, you do what you have to do.
