TORONTO - Ontario has quietly changed masking rules for long-term care homes, no longer requiring visitors or caregivers to wear them when alone with a resident in their room.
“Our government is protecting our long-term care homes by investing in Infection Prevention and Control , hiring and retaining nurses and PSW’s, and increasing daily hours of care for residents,” Jake Roseman said in a statement. A limit of four visitors per resident at a time for indoor visits has been removed, and long-term care homes can now set their own visitor policy. As well, residents are no longer required to be tested for COVID-19 when they return from an absence.
Meanwhile - I got this yesterday. I guess because I’m 50 plus. The health messaging from this govt are all over the place and in direct contradiction of each other.
There are really people out there who think LTC residents in the last days of their lives should never be able to see another loved ones face again, and they think THEY’RE the humane ones.
LeslieMaggie Unliving seniors one day at a time. I’m not being disrespectful to seniors. I think FORDS behavior is criminal in nature. It’s just a mask. They are a life 💔😔 he does not care.

The other worker ended up with long COVID can no longer work and can’t pay her bills not to mention all the other residents it got passed on to (some won’t make either) please keep your masks on (this story isn’t true but I am sure it soon will be)

Given the circumstances, ie raging pandemic, is this not negligent behaviour?
most people dont want to wear stupid masks.
