Ontario reports 573 new COVID-19 cases; 10 additional deaths
Ontario reported 573 new cases of COVID-19 on Friday along with 10 additional deaths, as the province’s hospital burden continued a slow decline and active cases fell to a fresh multi-month low.
The seven-day rolling average of new cases continues to drop, now standing at 551, down from 565 yesterday and 597 one week ago.
Alarmed by COVID-19, Ontario seniors want to live in their homes as long as possible: poll
Nearly 90 per cent of Ontarians aged 55+ say they want to stay in their own home and remain out of the province’s retirement and long-term care system as long as possible, especially because of what COVID-19 has wrought on those facilities, a new poll finds.
The poll conducted in late September found 89 per cent of respondents plan to stay in their own home or apartment for as long as possible, while four per cent planned to move in to a retirement residence or with a family member.
Who can blame them, LTC homes and hospitals were death traps.
