New COVID-19 outbreaks more than doubled in Ontario long-term care homes in the first week of July, Public Health Ontario says, as the sector sees the impact of a seventh virus wave.

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. That's an increase of 110 per cent from the previous week's 20 new reported outbreaks.

Infection prevention and control audits are completed every week when homes are in outbreak, the statement said, and every other week if homes aren't in outbreak. Other temporary measures like visitor limits may be brought in during outbreaks. Ontario widened access to fourth doses to all adults this week, and Nesbitt said homes are encouraged to "share information" about the expansion with staff caregivers and family members.

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. In a two-week period ending July 9, 44 people aged 80 and older died from COVID-19, Public Health Ontario said. The province has reported 65 deaths from COVID-19 in total over that period.

While there was a big push to get long-term care residents vaccinated with initial shots, Sinha said some are now falling behind on vaccinations, or may have waning immunity against the virus after receiving fourth shots late last year or early this year. The province has also ended rules that required visitors to the homes be vaccinated.

How does a quadruple vaxxed Long term care home catch a covid outbreak? Wake the fuck up people!

THERE IS NO STOPPING IT!!!!

The pandemic of the vacxinated has begun

People get ill from many causes and many recover. This nanufactured fear narrative not necessary only makes things worse with repercussions lije nit seeing loved ones on facilities, other mandates. Why it is better to ignore his harmful reporting do not follow and nit comply

More fear mongering, sooo what happened to the normal flu? Does it not exist anymore? Oh wait this is the normal flu now

Complete bull and no one as the flu stop even reporting this people don't care

Nobody cares, stop the fear inspiring drama, it’s no longer working.

Cheeky

Fuck off with the Broken record - we have moved forward and on in life. Try brung back any restrictions and see what the people do this time. I for one will never comply again with BS

Damn... they've lived their life, no need to hold us back 😂 rip

This is social fear created by a government invested in making money off of this virus. The flu kills the elderly and immune compromised individuals...how is this virus different when its been related to just that.

But wait aren't all the old people vaxxed? Oh yeah the Vax doesn't work.

It never left... Swiping it under the proverbial rug doesn't mean it's no longer a threat.

Jeeee whizz. I wonder why? 🙄

outbreak of the media virus to follow

It's funny and most of them in long term homes are triple vaxed or even 4 doses. Goes to show you the government was wrong about the vaccines and should stop pushing them.

So make sure all staff are vaxxed 6 times and everything should be good.

Where ppl are quadruple vaxxed and still wearing masks 🙄🙄

Thanks for the Vacksines are hot garbage PSA..99% Vacksinated LTCs and STILL this happens..pathetic.

Ebbs and flows forever.

DrVivianS have you seen this? This is just like the movie ' Groundhog Day'.

All 4x mrna'd

Fool us once.....

That vaccine sure is working! cp24lol NewWorldOrder...

Sounds about right. That's what happens when you get the 4th shot and/or paxlovid. Your immune system is down and you are easily infected. The never ending cycle of fear continues

That vccine is absolutely useless.

Outbreaks. Of snotty noses.

'This is white supremacy. We must close everything down. Get your 8th booster you fascists.' Also please subscribe to my OF. Toodles ✌

'In long term care homes'. There all vaxxed and boosted there. Hmmm.

Hard to believe since they are the only place with mask mandates etc. Where's the actual proof?

Doug Ford doing his finest to murder your grandparents. He's GETTING IT DONE!

Yes the vaccine is killing ppl now

Oh go away please! We dont care

Stop your fear games

Just shut up, no one cares

Give it up. It’s over.

Let me guess -- they are all VAXXED and BOOSTED

It’s a good thing they all have boosters

Yep determined to bring it back in september been pushing shit all summer. Its over stop spreading fear

FEAR MONGERING

Despite four doses of vaccine and vaccine mandates for employees. Safe and effective.

Why is the abuse that happens in these places never published?

Corporate media pushing the propaganda for more Big Pharma profits. This is why everyone hates you

the sore throat I had for the past 3 days from Covid was absolutely fucked. I don’t wish it upon my worst enemy.

Iron ring

Bullshit
