Thank you.
Ms. Benard, a Toronto Star analysis released just two days ago of public data on long-term care homes in Ontario found that residents of for-profit nursing homes in Ontario are far more likely to be infected with COVID-19 and die than those who live in non-profit and public municipally run homes. In homes with an outbreak, they found that residents in for-profit facilities are about twice as likely to catch COVID-19 and die as residents in non-profits, and about four times as likely to become infected and die from the virus as those in a public municipal home.
In your view, what factors may explain this discrepancy?
