Today's LTC update starts in QC. Similar trend as with MB and ON, where lethality in residential/LTC centres ⬆️.
To date 371 people from LTC facilities have lost lives. According to journalist @Aaron_Derfel Montreal's fewer outbreaks in 2nd wave could be due to lessons learned. https://twitter.com/aaron_derfel/status/1327809818074165249
