Ontario health care worker dies of COVID-19, first known provincial front-line fatalityThe man in his 50s, an environmental-services employee, was one of more than two dozen health care workers in Ontario who are hospitalized with COVID-19 🙏🙏🙏 So sad RIP So very sad. Doctors and nurses usually get all the credit for running hospitals, but it's a total team effort. Housekeepers' work is vital to the running of hospitals and this man is as much as a hero as the doctors caring for the ill. RIP.
