Ontario’s Long-Term Care Minister Rod Phillips says community spread is the biggest single factor affecting outbreaks in care homes.

“Today, there are 41 long-term care homes in an outbreak, up from 37 yesterday. 93 residents and 161 staff have tested positive for COVID-19. As of today, there are no long-term care residents in hospital as a result of COVID-19.” Phillips remarked in a virtual news conference.

“We’re implementing new measures to protect our most vulnerable. All general visits to long-term care homes will be paused unless you are visiting a relative in a palliative situation.” he said.
