Revera has also engaged Winnipeg-based epidemiologist Cynthia Carr and her team at EPI Research Inc. to assist them at both long-term care homes.
"The EPI Research team is assisting us with data analysis and contact tracing to determine sources of transmission and to help us understand the unusually high rate of asymptomatic positive cases and atypical symptoms that we have seen recently."
"Their support will free up staff time to provide more care to residents and will support our evidence-based decision-making, in concert with the WRHA, in managing the outbreak."
Staffing has stabilized at Parkview Place, although several are still in self-isolation.
At Maples, Revera says they are continuing to recruit employees while augmenting staffing with agency nurses and personnel from security firms.
