Provincially mandated testing for the novel coronavirus in long-term care homes has officially been completed in the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington area, according to public health.
Testing for the virus at 10 of the region’s long-term care homes was fully complete May 15 and resulted in no positive results.
To date, the Kingston region has seen only one outbreak of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, at a long-term care facility, Providence Manor, when one staff member tested positive for the virus.
Later on, a resident at Providence Manor also tested positive for the virus, but it was determined afterwards to be a false positive.
