Tabor Home now has 63 residents and 44 staff in total with COVID-19 and two people have died from the virus, the care home confirmed.

However, some people who previously tested positive have already made a full recovery.

The care home said Thursday they are taking many preventative measures to help stop the spread of the virus including twice-daily screening of tenants, enhanced daily cleaning practices, maintaining two metres distance in dining rooms, staggered meal times and cancellation of group activities and client gatherings.
