The publicly funded care home Louis Brier Home and Hospital, which has more than 200 residents and 400 staff, is located in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority. Researchers say it implemented the most provincial guidelines to prevent or mitigate virus spread, and had good crisis management, according to the report. “The facility leaders were monitoring COVID news as early as December,” said Havaei, a UBC nursing professor, who studies workplace safety and patient care. By March, when the B.C. government declared an emergency because of the virus, the care home had already implemented many of the infection control practices that would become standard practice in the pandemic, such as keeping an up-to-date list of people entering the home.
