Ivan Johnson, 87, is in isolation at Edmonton’s Shepherd’s Care Foundation Kensington Village and is unsure if he will be able to attend his wife Helen’s upcoming funeral. “He has to be in his room.
Nobody can come in. Nobody can come out,” Johnson’s daughter Lorraine Morris said. “Unfortunately, one of his caregivers was tested positive on April 1, so we’re just praying that my dad doesn’t get it, and so far, no symptoms.” She and her siblings were holding signs and shouting words of love and positivity to their father from outside his bedroom Saturday.
He is one of many residents under strict isolation after one person on-site died due to COVID-19. Nineteen others tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
