27 of the 43 new cases were in LTC facilities or retirement homes. 44 of the 55 total deaths (and nine of the 10 latest deaths) are in the same.
Clearly this is the main COVID-19 challenge in the region (and in most of Canada) right now.
Unlike some places, women account for 68% of positive cases. I imagine that many are the underpaid and overworked nursing staff at LTC facilities. A horrifying situation that needs to be fixed immediately.
