Thank you so much, Doctor.
In addition to that, provincial governments have increased protections for seniors in long-term care homes throughout the pandemic by limiting visitors, providing staff with personal protective equipment and preventing employees from working in multiple homes. Of course, we saw a delay in the closure of borders.
