A flu outbreak that has killed at least one person at Toronto's Seaton House has spread to another level, city staff say. The illness had been contained to the fourth floor of the homeless shelter, but it is now afflicting several patients on the third floor. Patricia Anderson, a manager with the city's homelessness services, says three people on the third floor of Seaton House are currently displaying flu-like symptoms. 'Infection control measures' to be implementedStaff at Seaton House are now working with Toronto Public Health officials to implement strict "infection control measures" at the facility, Anderson explained. Anderson said that the worst of the outbreak on the fourth floor of the shelter — a "long-stay" floor where residents generally live for an extended period — is starting to wane.
