Province announces $11.8-million in COVID-19 funding for Ottawa long-term care homes

Ottawa is getting a cash boost from the Ontario government to help cover costs associated with COVID-19.

The province is investing an additional $11,830,600 to increase prevention and containment efforts in 27 long-term care (LTC) homes in Ottawa during the second wave of the pandemic. 

The funding will cover expenses related to COVID-19 screening for those entering LTC homes and hiring new staff to help with added workload, or to replace workers who are sick or in isolation.

It will also go toward cleaning, equipment, and operating supplies, as well as implementing infection control measures based on clinical evidence, advice from physicians or other health practitioners with expertise in infection control.
