The Canadian PressRaphael Jaranillo, 77, prepares to receive his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at a senior's residence in Toronto, on March 8, 2021. New COVID-19 outbreaks more than doubled in Ontario long-term care homes in the first week of July, Public Health Ontario says.The latest weekly report on the virus in Ontario said there were 42 new outbreaks recorded in the sector during the week of July 3 to July 9.
Nesbitt also pointed to the benefits of vaccination in protecting residents. More than 96 per cent of eligible long-term care residents had received third COVID-19 vaccine doses as of July 12, Nesbitt said, and more than 80 per cent of those eligible had received fourth doses. Dr. Kieran Moore, the province's chief medical officer of health, said Wednesday that the wave could peak in the next two weeks, though it's difficult to predict trends because the province has limited access to gold-standard PCR tests.This week's public health COVID-19 update said outbreaks in high-risk settings rose 87 per cent overall since the last report. Increases were reported in all congregate living settings except correctional facilities.
Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at Sinai Health in Toronto, said the long-term care population remains vulnerable to COVID-19 and he's concerned the risks to them may have fallen "out of sight, out of mind" at this stage of the pandemic.
Stop giving handshakes as if everything is just fine with the vaccines!!! Things are better but helping the virus spread to everybody will create new variants
7 I thought this was 5, are making up the waves based on province?
Nothing promotes vaccination uptake like stories like these!!! Go CBC!!!! 🙄🤦♂️🤡🌎 Scamdemic
Your....still....counting.....waves....🤤😔
Let the residents out for some fresh air and prepare edible food-when was the last time they had a bowl of cherries, a strip loin BQ steak or a chocolate milk shake- can’t stay in bed 24/7 and build up an immune system-they will die of pneumonia or should I say Covid? Shit holes

What J. Pulitzer is now saying about the press/media is exactly your image, my dear CBC! The weird fact is that you all deserve the smack from the man whose award you much desire to get.
So everything we have done ro today meant nothing
But the vaccine was supposed to stop this, remember that misinformation cbcnews spread?
Aren't they on there 29th jab. 🧐
This is because they are injecting them with vaccines
Ah remember 2021... When 2 weeks, 45% herd immunity, vaccine eradicated the virus . Those were the good old days...All Lies Now we have multiple ineffective shots, more mandates on the way for all, Strict vaccinated environments still having covid outbreaks. WAKE UP!
The measures are the impact. LTCs have been turned to super sad venues of elder neglect by these measures and Covid-19 hysteria.
Ontarians re-elected Doug Ford to ensure that this keeps happening
Maybe if people would stop jabbing and testing themselves and just fuckin wake up we wouldn't have these numbers.😤
tell the truth ... yo paid journo by Dictator Trudeau
COVIDpox, monkey-19, drag king story time, Liberalism...can't wait to see what's next.
Unfortunately, most recent data suggests that the boosted are the group that drives the pandemic now - they have the highest rate of cases, hospitalizations and deaths from covid. Yikes.
After all that was on the agenda months ago anyway, right? They just had to wait for the Ukraine hysteria to dial down in the media to bring this back. Sounds cynical but not untrue.
Not possible. I was told the vaccines prevent infection.
So, all residents are vaxed, staff are masked and vaxed, family visitors are masked and vaxed, so what you are saying is the vaccines don’t work. About time.
7th heaven
Ford's measures were always too late & lifted too early and he has not learned after 6 waves. He used magical deadlines to stupidly project dates. He then FUDGED THE FACTS via test suppression and silencing scientists. His 'army of 14.7M' continues to survive despite him.
