There has been some relief for a Bobcaygeon, Ont., nursing home Sunday which has lost nearly 45 per cent of its residents due to a coronavirus outbreak.
Pinecrest Nursing Home administrator Mary Carr said there were no new deaths since her update on Saturday. It’s a third day in a row with that message since Carr reported a 29th resident at the 65-bed long-term care facility died early Thursday.
A spouse of a resident also died of COVID-19 last month, bringing the death toll associated with the home to 30 since the outbreak was declared in mid-March.
On Thursday, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit reported 28 staff have also tested positive for COVID-19.
