Close to 60 per cent of the province’s 877 deaths have now been linked to the province’s long-term care homes, provincial data showed.

That number sat at about 50 per cent early last week. There are at least five homes dealing with outbreaks of over 100 cases, including a long-term care home in Laval, north of Montreal, which counted 152 cases and 42 deaths as of Saturday.
