Ontario Taking Further Action Long-Term Care Residents

THUNDER BAY, SAULT STE MARIE, SUDBURY, ONTARIO ~~~~ December 28, 2021 (LSNews) In response to the evolving Omicron situation, the Chief Medical Officer of Health, is taking further actions for safety of residents, staff and caregivers in long-term care homes.

The following temporary measures at long-term care homes will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, December 30, 2021:

Access to long-term care homes by general visitors will be paused. Designated caregivers may continue to enter long-term care homes.
Day absences for all residents for social purposes will be paused.

Rod Phillips, Minister of Long-Term Care. “In addition to the steps we’ve already taken, these new temporary measures will help keep residents safe and help critical staff remain on the job.”

Earlier this month, the government put in place policies in long-term care homes designed to optimize safety for residents and staff, including the requirement that all general visitors need to be fully vaccinated to enter a home. The province is also requiring all staff caring for a resident with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19 to wear a fit-tested, seal-checked N95 respirator. However, the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant will likely mean staff being exposed to or contracting COVID-19 in the community and more outbreaks in long-term care homes.

“I understand that these new, temporary measures will impact residents’ ability to have close contact with many of their friends and family members,” said Minister Phillips. “We must remain vigilant against the Omicron variant to protect long-term care residents and staff.”

As of November 30, 2021, data shows that 99 per cent of long-term care staff, students and volunteers are fully vaccinated. In addition, as of December 22, 2021, 84 per cent of eligible residents and 43 per cent of eligible staff have received their third dose.
