TORONTO – On April 30, Ontario’s Long-Term Care Covid-19 Commission released its final report to the Provincial Government. Not surprisingly, long-term care (LTC) homes were “easy targets for uncontrolled outbreaks”, the report said. Nor was there any pandemic preparedness plan in place to protect vulnerable residents and staff from the highly infectious Covid-19 virus.
The Commission was responsible for conducting an investigation as to how and why Covid-19 spread throughout LTC homes in Ontario. It also looked at what measures were taken to prevent the spread of the virus.
