A long-term care home in Île-Bizard is dealing with another spike in cases.

There are now 25 residents who have died as a result of COVID-19 at Almonte Country Haven.

The province also said there were 156 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Interior Health region, up from 153 on Wednesday.

Jean-Pierre Daubois is alleging the Montreal-area long-term care home acted negligently by forcing two employees with COVID-19 symptoms to remain at work, by improperly isolating residents, and by failing to provide protective equipment to employees.

Three people at Northwood died on Friday, making it the single deadliest day since the state of emergency was declared in Nova Scotia.

The situation is dire at the CHSLD Manoir Harwood in Vaudreuil, where 39 of its 58 residents have tested positive for the coronavirus and eight have died.

An application to launch a class-action lawsuit against the Dorval, Que., care home, where at least 30 people have died amid the coronavirus pandemic, has been filed.

According to the province, as of April 15, there were seven licensed long-term care homes in Nova Scotia with cases of COVID-19.

Eight residents and six staff at the Clifton Manor long-term care facility in Calgary have now tested positive for COVID-19.

"We're doing everything we can to protect the elderly and I can assure the families of those people who are in the CHSLD that no effort is let go," said Health Minister Danielle McCann
