A total of 64 residents, along with 40 staff members, are confirmed cases. Surveillance testing of all staff and residents is being done every five days. The most recent round last weekend detected eight new cases. Twelve residents have died from the virus, which account for all but two of the total COVID-19 deaths in the Thunder Bay District. "It's a very significant outbreak. It hit us fast. It hit us hard," said Candace Chartier, the chief seniors' advocate and strategic partnerships officer for Southbridge. "We're basically doing everything we can right now to make sure our residents are safe and well cared for."
