HALIFAX -- The MLA for Madawaska Les Lacs-Edmundston says it was only eight days from when her father was diagnosed, to when he died, of COVID-19. "He left us very quickly. Very, very quickly," said Francine Landry. She says despite testing positive, her 89-year old father had a positive outlook until the end. He was a resident at a long-term care facility in Edmundston. Landry says it's been difficult to grieve during the more restrictive red phase. "The reality is, the virus can hit any family, anyone. Rich or poor. It doesn't matter. It takes lives away from loved ones," she said.
