I am so proud of the prep and response the healthcare teams in the Ontario LTC Sector. We cannot forget our most vulnerable. We must protect them. The Italian situation is a tragedy all around. My heart goes out to those experiencing this reality around the world.
A SILENT TRAGEDY. While the official #COVIDー19 Italian death toll is tragic, what is worse are the thousands of older Nursing Home residents who have been dying silently - never tested, and therefore never counted. Let's not let this happen in Canada. https://t.co/x5rIueS97J
In case it’s helpful I made a quick top 10 list of tips to help #seniors facing #isolation because of #COVIDー19
1) try iPad or tablet (with consent)and leave FaceTime or Skype on so they feel part of your household.
To combat the spread of #COVIDー19 and on the recommendation of the Ministry of Health, we are now limiting visitors to only essential visitors – those who have a resident who is very ill or dying. During this time, families will be asked to care from a distance.
With a lot of misinformation spreading on #COVID19, we are dedicated to directing you to credible sources to keep you informed on the virus.

We have instructed Ontario's long-term care homes to implement active screening of all staff, volunteers, visitors and new or returning residents. In doing so, we can better protect our most vulnerable from #COVID19. https://t.co/eOeYtIh6nx
