While the Ford government plans to vaccinate all long-term care residents, staff and essential caregivers in the COVID-19 hot spots of Toronto, Peel, York and Windsor by January 21, the Official Opposition worries about those in facilities outside those regions.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is concerned for the seniors in the 138 homes in outbreak outside hot spots.
”If I were the premier today, I’d be pulling out all the stops to rush doses into long-term care homes,” says Horwarth.
