Ten residents at a long-term care home outside of Ottawa are dead due to a novel coronavirus outbreak. Ten residents have died directly from coronavirus-related complications, while two residents have died due to pre-existing conditions, according to Almonte Country Haven in Almonte, Ont. “We have proudly served the community for 39 years and each death leaves a lasting mark on our residents and our care team,” read a statement from Carolyn Della Foresta, administrator at the long-term care home, issued on Thursday.
Twenty other residents have tested positive for COVID-19, the novel coronavirus disease, while four others are awaiting test results.
