Conroy said many precautions are being taken at Clifton Manor. Residents are tested at the first sign of any symptom and are immediately quarantined in their room. “We put in aggressive measures in advance of provincial measures,” said Conroy, referring to not allowing staff to work at multiple care facilities and restricting visitors to the centres.
In addition, staff who are caring for or providing services such as meals to residents quarantined in their room wear full personal protective equipment. [ Sign up for our Health IQ newsletter for the latest coronavirus updates ]
