"Many staff who tested positive for the virus were in shock as they experienced no symptoms - 42 staff. 59 residents. In one care home..." New post from Laila Yuile on lack of BC testing of staff and residents in BC care homes. https://lailayuile.com/2020/11/17/many-staff-who-tested-positive-for-the-virus-were-in-shock-as-they-experienced-no-symptoms-42-staff-59-residents-in-one-care-home/ #covidbc #bcpoli
Laila says, "On November 5th I wrote this, a plea to the province to both mandate proactive, frequent testing of LTC staff, and to release more information surrounding Covid data: https://lailayuile.com/2020/11/05/a-matter-of-conscience-why-we-need-to-act-on-long-term-care-right-now-and-why-transparency-with-covid-data-is-more-critical-than-ever/ #bcpoli #CovidBC
.."With today’s story from Abbotsford (101 cases in 1 home) we know why the province stopped giving a breakdown of LTC home #s. They are horrific, & proactive mandatory frequent testing of staff would have caught this. Perhaps not all but most. Shameful." https://www.abbynews.com/news/tabor-home-in-abbotsford-now-has-101-covid-19-cases/
