According to the Ministry of Long-Term Care, there have been 1,786 deaths reported among residents and patients in long-term care homes across Ontario, an increase of 10. There are currently 63 outbreaks in long-term care homes.
The ministry also indicated there are currently 539 active confirmed cases among long-term care residents and 503 among staff.
Officials have said there may be a discrepancy between the reporting of overall deaths and deaths at long-term care homes due to how the province’s health database system, called iPHIS, is tracking data and how the Ministry of Long-Term Care is tracking data.
