The number of people sick with COVID-19 at a Sackville nursing home has grown to 23, with one person in hospital. Drew Nursing Home executive director Linda Shannon directed an interview request to the association, the organization that represents non-profit nursing homes across the province. According to the home's message to families, several RNs, LPNs and resident attendants from other nursing homes are helping at the Drew, as well as retired employees. Sackville Mayor Shawn Mesheau says there's anxiety in the community and concern for the residents and staff of the nursing home. Keating said there are now COVID-19 cases in 10 nursing homes represented by the association, more than at any other point in the pandemic.
