COVID-19 outbreaks: Infections in care homes kept under wraps as B C s top doctor defends change to definition

VANCOUVER Internal documents and a freedom of information battle reveal details of the provincial government’s quiet changes to outbreak response in B.C. care homes, which are being criticized as slow, confusing and inadequate. Implemented last fall, new criteria redefining outbreaks did not alter the province’s testing strategy in care homes. Under the new guidelines, in many cases a positive COVID-19 test for a single staff member was met with little more than meetings and a secrecy clause. CTV News Vancouver has obtained documents from Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health discussing “enhanced monitoring” and “enhanced surveillance” procedures, which avoided a formal outbreak declaration in the event of a single staff member being diagnosed with the coronavirus.

B C Budget 2021: New cash for health care and seniors during pandemic

The provincial budget promised more money for health care and for seniors, after COVID-19 overburdened the health care system and deaths significantly impacted long-term care homes.

Funding for seniors in B C budget gets high marks

As well, the budget recognized the day-to-day living constraints on low-income seniors with the doubling of the seniors supplement, a top-up for low-income seniors unchanged since 1987. The maximum of $49.30 goes to $99.30 a month for a single person. About 80,000 British Columbian seniors receive it. “I think it’s a fairly positive budget in respect of seniors,” said Mackenzie. “They have thrown a lot of money at seniors. “I think there’s still some things to sort out once we’re on the other side of the pandemic but the money for the wage levelling, the single-site order, and training of new care aides, that’s a lot of money.”
