According to the Ministry of Long-Term Care, there have been 654 deaths reported among residents and patients in long-term care homes across Ontario, an increase of 29. There are currently 147 outbreaks reported in the province’s long-term care homes.
The ministry also indicated there are 2,520 confirmed cases among long-term care residents and 1,161 cases among staff.
Ontario officials have said there may be a discrepancy between overall deaths and deaths at long-term care homes due to how the province’s health database system, called iPHIS, is tracking data and how the Ministry of Long-Term Care is tracking data.
