Four people have died from COVID-19 at Downsview Long Term Care Centre in North York.

On its website Tuesday, the home stated 50 residents and 19 employees are sick with the novel coronavirus. One resident has recovered from the virus.

“All residents at our facility that have tested positive are isolated in accordance with public health regulations,” said GEM Health Care Group, which manages the North York facility.

“All staff who have tested positive are at home in self-isolation.”

As it deals with the outbreak, the group said it has suspended all non-essential visits and services to its homes, added additional screening measures for staff to ensure that they are well, increased disinfection of all areas in its homes, and staff are wearing masks and full protective equipment when caring for a resident who’s tested positive.
