A Bobcaygeon, Ont., nursing home that has been plagued by a horrific coronavirus outbreak has now gone a week without any fatalities and residents are on the rebound, the administrator says.
On Thursday, Mary Carr at Pinecrest Nursing Home reported no new deaths — a seven-day reprieve since the last death at the 65-bed facility was reported on April 9.
Since the outbreak was declared on March 20, 29 residents and a spouse of a resident have died of COVID-19. Carr said on Thursday that “many” residents who had tested positive for COVID-19 previously have been healthy for at least 14 days. “With the support of Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, we will be retesting residents next week to look for clearance of COVID-19,”
