Deadly second wave of COVID-19 exposes cracks in Manitoba’s long-term care system
By: Josh Crabb
Dr. Samir Sinha, director of health policy research at the NIA, sees what happened at Maples as emblematic of what took place in some other care homes in Winnipeg and across Manitoba during the second wave of the pandemic.
“I think people realized how bad this could get so quickly and I think now there’s been a lot of lessons unfortunately learned with a number of Manitobans unfortunately having passed away,” said Sinha. “We need to anticipate that care can collapse very quickly when a virus spreads into a home.”
