SASKATOON -- NDP leader Ryan Meili is calling on the Government of Saskatchewan to change the way it’s handling long-term care homes in the province in the wake of several deaths related to COVID-19. “This government failed to act when it comes to solving the crises in our long-term care system,” he said. “It shouldn't have taken dozens of people dying, but hopefully, at the very least, they’ll listen now.” Forty-three people died as a result of an outbreak at Parkside Extendicare in Regina, and a current outbreak at Preston Extendicare has left nine people dead, with 12 active cases amoung residents and two amoung staff.
