What are the coronavirus rules in my province? A quick guide to what’s allowed and open, or closed and banned
Sharleen Stewart, president of Services Employees International Union Healthcare, said about half of the union’s 25,000 members are working multiple jobs, including as personal support workers and housekeepers in seniors’ facilities. Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. David Williams, recommended in March that wherever possible, staff should be limited to working in one home. On Wednesday, he said that making such a measure mandatory is complex – even though the province has been aware of the issue since the SARS outbreak in 2003.
Choose MAID in early Alzheimer's. 70K a person in LTC buys lousy care. 150K a person buys lousy care - that's what it costs for one person at Participation House. People need to stop being so squeamish and think about society. Take my 70K and use it for something else.
The province says LTC workers can't work in different homes now but those workers did that because greedy LTC owners don't want to pay sick days or benefits for full time employees right? So how does this new policy help the poor workers who need ft hours?
So doctors and nurses will be taken from other sick ppl like cancer patients to go work in nursing homes because of staffing shortages because the province won't mandate decent wages, ft hours, sick pay or WSIB to protect these at risk workers? Am I right?

In this case they sure weren't prepared with anything. 🙏👈 Im glad Dr Williams broke down the case numbers - OVER 200 from the 494 new cases reported are from long term care homes. So, in the community the numbers are in the mid 200s. He said this will be confirmed but this seems to be a positive sign unless you're in long term care .
