Yes. Not clear yet why the big jump. But LTC case count is now up to 195 so I suspect they have been doing more testing at LTC facilities. Based on the region's data, the infections are not new, the symptoms already set in some time ago, so it's people who had symptoms but did not get tested earlier. My guess (and it's just a guess) is that they had not been doing enough testing in LTC facilities so they are now uncovering these cases. Revera Forest Heights is up to 118 cases ...
