WINNIPEG Residents of a remote northern Manitoba community who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 have been flown to Winnipeg to stay in a personal care home. The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority and Manitoba’s First Nations Pandemic Response Team have confirmed residents of Bunibonibee Cree Nation Personal Care Home have been flown to Winnipeg for care at the Holy Family Care Home. Staff from the personal care home have also come to Winnipeg to help out with the residents.” “Nine residents of Bunibonibee Cree Nation arrived in Winnipeg last evening and we are expecting an additional three residents coming in today,” a WRHA spokesperson said Friday.

Ottawa instead plans to allocate infection-prevention cash solely based on each home’s population. As this crisis in its current exigencies draws to an end, there will be many reflections about how we deliver long-term care to seniors across this country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters Friday.
When an email from the personal care home where Marie Tremblay’s mother lives landed in her inbox with the subject line “holiday season visitation,” her mind started racing.

Tremblay’s mom is a resident at Park Manor Personal Care Home in Transcona, where an outbreak of COVID-19 has infected 73 residents and 37 staff. Twenty-two residents have died due to the disease. They’ve asked families not to go in there during COVID; it’s bad enough with staff getting it. So, I haven’t gone in to visit her since the lockdown, Tremblay said Friday.
