Twenty-two residents from the Simcoe-Muskoka region have died at home with COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. Those deaths do not include residents of long-term care homes who have died with the disease, but could include people living in retirement homes and group homes. The Canadian Press reported last week there is an increase in the number of COVID patients dying at home in Ontario. Between April 1 and April 22, coroners have seen 25 cases of people in southern and central Ontario who have died of coronavirus disease at home. The ages of the victims ranged from the late 20s to their late 80s.
